FAQs

The davenport desk originated in the late 18th century, reportedly commissioned by a Captain Davenport from the furniture maker Gillows of Lancaster as a compact writing desk for use on ships.

These pieces were typically constructed from a solid timber framework, such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often veneered with highly figured burr walnut and featuring leather-lined sloping writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces generally feature period construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, traditional timber shrinkage, original brass or ceramic castors, and hand-tooled leather writing surfaces.

It functions effectively as a compact workspace or feature piece in a living room, study, or hallway, paired with a simple low-profile chair to showcase its intricate woodwork.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and applying a traditional beeswax polish sparingly to nourish the wood.
