Regency Mahogany Boat Shaped Canterbury

About the Item

An Exceptional Quality Regency Period, Early 19th Century Mahogany Boat Shaped Canterbury Having Elegant Turned Upright Supports And One Drawer To Frieze, Raised On Tall, Tapering, Turned Legs With Original Brass Castors. Label To Drawer - "C. Hindley And Sons, London". The term Canterbury is believed to have originally been used to describe articles such as this when the Duke of Canterbury commissioned something similar to be made for him towards the end of the 18th century. His initial example however had both horizontal and vertical divisions and its purpose was to store and transport cutlery around the dining room. This design was quickly adapated into something which was absolutely perfect for storing sheet music and canterburies became regular features of 19th century homes for this exact purpose. Of course now they are the perfect object for the storage of magazines and books which you want quick access to in all sorts of different spots around the home. This particular canterbury is of exceptional quality construction, using very high grade mahogany timbers and exudes elegance. A particularly lovely feature is the high, elegant, tapered legs which mean that the canterbury stands incredibly proudly wherever one chooses to position it. Generally speaking, throughout the 19th century canterburies gradually became heavier, more elaborate, less elegant and not less confirming to populasr taste. Overall the condition is good with no significant defects to speak of and as with all items which we offer for sale this canterbury has received an inspection and a traditional wax polish in our workshops before being offered for sale. circa 1820.
