Regency Canterbury

Object Description

An interesting late Georgian – early Regency mahogany canterbury or magazine rack,
England, circa 1800.

We like the unusual faux-bamboo and black-highlighted details, the rich patination and beautiful colour of the mahogany, and a most delightful original brass knob with tiny lyre decoration in the middle.
