Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

The Davenport desk originated in the late 18th century, named after a Captain Davenport who commissioned the compact design from cabinetmakers Gillows of Lancaster for shipboard use.

These desks are predominantly crafted from fine hardwoods such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, featuring inset leather writing slopes and brass gallery rails.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on side drawers, hand-carved turned supports, original brass castors, and signs of natural oxidisation on the timber and hardware.

A Davenport desk serves as an ideal writing station in a study alcove or hallway, where the rich wood grain can be contrasted with modern minimalist artwork and streamlined lighting.

Position the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking, and polish the wood surfaces regularly using a natural beeswax compound.
