This Canterbury is composed of vibrant flamed mahogany with curvatiously shaped lyres bookending the dividers. The mounts and casters are original, and its in a fine condition.
Also, decoratively speaking, we have used this personally with a beveled glass top working nicely aside a single armchair, so it functions as a low table. A related canterbury offered by Shaker Square Antiques of Ohio can be seen in the following attachments.
Height: 17 3/4 in. Width: 18 1/2 in. Depth: 13 3/4 in.
