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 19th-century writing desk featuring a sloped writing surface hinged at the back, positioned over side drawers and a top stationery compartment.

Victorian Davenport desks were typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often featuring decorative marquetry inlays, gold-tooled leather writing surfaces, and brass castors.

Authentic Victorian pieces display hand-dovetailed side drawers, period-appropriate brass hardware or turned wooden knobs, original brass castors, and natural age-related patination across the timber.

Due to its compact footprint, a Davenport desk functions well as a dedicated writing station in a hallway, bedroom nook, or living room alcove.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain, and treat the leather insert with dedicated leather conditioner while avoiding direct sunlight.
