A superb mahogany Canterbury, originally designed for sheet music or magazines, dating from the Victorian era. This fine piece features four gracefully curved dividers united by brass supports, all raised on a beautifully carved central pedestal. It stands on a shaped platform base with classic scroll feet, lending a sense of balance and refinement.

The mahogany boasts a rich, warm tone and a gorgeous patina developed over time. It’s in excellent condition, showing only the light age-related marks that enhance the character of antique furniture. Decorative yet practical, this portable item offers both beauty and function—an elegant addition to any home.

The Canterbury gained popularity during the 19th-century Victorian and Edwardian fascination with domestic music-making, particularly the presence of pianos in the parlour. First introduced in the late 18th century, the piece takes its name from the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is said to have commissioned the original design.
