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

A Davenport desk is a compact writing desk featuring a sloped writing top above a cabinet of drawers, first commissioned in the late 18th century by Captain Davenport.

Craftsmen typically constructed Victorian Davenports using fine timber veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, accompanied by inlaid marquetry, brass galleries, and inset leather writing surfaces.

Authentic Victorian examples display hand-cut dovetail joints on the side drawers, natural grain variation across the burr walnut veneer, hand-carved decorative supports, and period locks.

This compact desk fits into a home office, hallway nook, or living area to provide a functional writing space and storage without overfilling the room.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly along the timber grain, and treat the leather writing slope with dedicated leather conditioner.
