A canterbury separates papers upright
A canterbury is a low stand divided into upright compartments, used for objects including sheet music. Examples may have a drawer or castors. Found in England from the 1780s, it organises the papers associated with music rather than making sound itself.
The performance has paperwork with its own furniture.
