The History & Heritage
This Canterbury is a distinguished time capsule from the "Golden Age" of American furniture making. Crafted circa 1928, it bears the prestigious "Company C.F. Master Craftsman" eagle hallmark—the exclusive custom-furniture division of the legendary W. & J. Sloane of New York.
During the late 1920s, W. & J. Sloane’s Flushing, NY workshop was world-renowned for employing European-trained artisans who utilized traditional 18th-century bench-made techniques. This specific model, JS2206, was part of the "John Sloane" era, designed to bring the refined elegance of the English Regency period into the most sophisticated American homes.
Why I Love It
What makes this piece so special is the tangible sense of history in its construction. In an era of mass-production, you can still see the hand of the artisan in the smooth-gliding drawer and the perfectly executed hand-cut dovetail joints.
My family has cherished this piece since the 1970's, when it was sourced from a small, boutique New England antique shop. It has remained in our family’s private collection for over 45 years, receiving the care and respect an antique of this caliber deserves.
The "Designer" Details
Originally intended as a Regency-style sheet music stand, this piece is remarkably versatile for a modern interior. It is the ideal size for a vinyl record collection (12-inch LPs fit beautifully) or as a sophisticated organizer for a home library or office. The rich mahogany grain glows with a deep, authentic patina. It carries a age-related stress crack on the top right, and some surface wear and nicks from its century-long journey—that underscores its antique soul without compromising its structural integrity.
I am proud to offer it someone who appreciates the W. & J. Sloane legacy. Given my proximity to New York metropolitan area, I am also happy to personally deliver it to ensure its continued safe passage free of charge.

There is a stable, 1-inch age-related stress crack on the front rack top corner (see detail photo). It does not affect the structural integrity of the piece. Minor surface wear and small nicks are present, which are typical for a piece of this age and contribute to its authentic character. A few small, inconspicuous brad holes are present on the front above the drawer, likely from an early reinforced joinery or a professional maintenance check in its past. The original lacquer finish has been preserved and recently cleaned to remove minor surface marks, and the original brass casters remain fully functional. less
