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.

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 with a sloped writing surface, side drawers, and carved front supports, originally commissioned by Captain Davenport in the late eighteenth century and widely produced throughout the Victorian era.

Victorian Davenports are typically constructed from high-quality hardwoods such as walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, often features fine burr veneers, hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, and solid brass fittings.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer joints, natural timber grain variations, hand-carved scroll legs, and period-correct hardware such as original brass castors and locks.

Due to its compact footprint, a Davenport desk functions exceptionally well in a reading alcove, home library corner, or hallway space, serving as both a functional writing bureau and a decorative accent piece.

Maintain the wood finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually; keep the leather skiver clean with a damp cloth and position the desk away from direct heat and sunlight.
