Notes

Canterburies are used to today as magazine racks but were originally used to store sheet music. The word first appeared in Thomas Sheraton's Dictionary of 1803 and they were so called because the bishop was the first to give orders for these pieces.

In the 1880s a number of craftsmen and architects formed guilds and associations in an attempt to get away from the prevailing mass produced styles and reproductions of the commercial furniture trade. This became known as the Arts and Crafts movement.
