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

Named after Captain Davenport who commissioned the original design, a Davenport desk is a compact writing desk featuring a sloped writing surface above a pedestal of side drawers, which gained widespread popularity during the 19th century in Victorian Britain.

Victorian Davenport desks are commonly constructed from hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, lined with gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces, and feature hand-cut dovetail side drawers alongside decorative hand-carved front supports.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original ceramic or brass castors, genuine wood veneers such as burr walnut, and functional side drawers rather than faux drawer fronts.

A Davenport desk can be positioned in a quiet study nook, hallway, or living room alcove, paired with clean-lined modern lighting and minimalist art to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and central heating sources, apply high-grade beeswax polish along the grain twice yearly, and clean the leather writing inset with a dedicated leather conditioner.
