The music canterbury is designed in the George IV 'Grecian' manner, with Apollonian lyre-scrolled pillars supporting Ionic-scrolled rails; while pearl-reeded mouldings wreath the plinth, whose feet comprise Grecian reeded urns. The London and Lancaster firm of Gillow, who introduced such 'urn' feet at the start of the 19th century, featured a simpler but related reed-enriched canterbury, in their 1826 Estimate Sketch Book.
