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

A Davenport desk is a small, slant-front writing desk named after Captain Davenport, who commissioned the first recorded design from furniture makers Gillows in the late 18th century. It features a hinged slope top with an internal compartment and a side bank of drawers for compact storage.

Victorian Davenport desks were predominantly constructed using solid woods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, frequently dressed with decorative burr veneers, marquetry inlays, and leather writing inserts.

Authentic 19th-century pieces usually exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer construction, original brass locks or casters, naturally aged veneer, and period-appropriate internal drawers or hidden stationery pop-ups.

A Davenport desk functions as a compact functional workstation or accent piece in study spaces, hallways, or living rooms, pairing well alongside traditional leather seating or minimalist modern backgrounds.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to nourish the timber. Keep the desk away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer drying or fading.
