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

Originating in the late eighteenth century, a Davenport desk is a compact writing desk featuring a sloped writing surface above a cabinet or set of side drawers, designed for space efficiency.

Victorian Davenport desks frequently incorporate burr walnut or mahogany veneers, decorative marquetry inlay, gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces, and brass gallery rails.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on side drawers, original brass castors and hardware, genuine age patination, and high-quality veneered wood.

A Davenport desk functions as a compact laptop station or writing desk in a home office, bedroom alcove, or hallway, integrating smoothly alongside contemporary or traditional furniture.

Preserve the wood finish by placing the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth, and applying natural beeswax polish periodically.
