music canterburies/cabinets
Canterbury. A low, partitioned stand, originally intended to hold plates and cutlery, but later used for magazines, papers and especially music books. Invented in the late 18th century, most canterburies available on today's market date from the Victorian age, frequently in burr walnut veneer and with open fretwork galleries. Early music canterburies are generally of plain design, in the form of a magazine rack, in keeping with design principles of the period, whilst the later versions are much more flamboyant, and have an extra tier added, with a shelf on the top section. Late versions in bamboo with lacquer panels are fairly plentiful.
