What is a Canterbury used for?

A Canterbury was originally designed to hold sheet music near a piano, though later Victorian variants frequently served as magazine racks beside a parlour seating area. The partitioned sections kept unbound papers upright and organised within easy reach of the hearth.

Are these pieces Edwardian?

The pieces available on this page date from the Victorian era and the nineteenth century, pre-dating the Edwardian period by several decades. Cabinetmakers of the nineteenth century favoured substantial walnut and burr walnut timbers for these functional parlour items.

Where should I place one at home?

These stands suit sitting rooms or studies where current periodicals and books require a compact storage solution. The castors fitted to many examples allow them to be moved easily across wooden flooring or carpets.
