A distinctive late 19th-century walnut canterbury or magazine rack, ingeniously constructed using industrial spindles and bobbins from the same period.
England, circa 1890. This elegant piece offers two open divisions, each finely decorated with turned spindle supports, above a useful lower shelf. It stands on slender turned legs terminating in round, flat metal-bound feet, giving it both stability and a refined, industrial character.
In excellent original condition, the canterbury retains its original colour and a rich, warm patina, making it not only a practical storage piece for magazines or music but also an attractive decorative accent for a period or eclectic interior. See less
