Description

A mid 19th-century, early Victorian period Canterbury, dating from circa 1850, is a testament to the fine craftsmanship of the era. Constructed from solid rosewood, the piece features three well-proportioned divisions with elegantly carved and shaped dividers, supported by delicately bobbin-turned uprights.

The front is beautifully detailed, showcasing a single drawer with original turned rosewood knobs, providing additional storage. The Canterbury rests on slender turned legs, terminating in its original brass castors, allowing for both elegance and practicality.

The rosewood displays a rich, warm patina, highlighting the quality and beauty of the wood grain. Structurally sound and in very good condition, this piece embodies the timeless charm and superior craftsmanship of mid-19th-century English furniture. A sophisticated addition to any interior, perfect for organizing magazines, sheet music, or documents with style.
