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

Originated in the late eighteenth century, the Davenport desk was commissioned by Captain Davenport for compact maritime storage. By the Victorian era, it evolved into a popular domestic writing desk characterised by a side flight of drawers and a hinged sloped writing surface.

Victorian examples commonly feature high-figure timber veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, or mahogany. Writing surfaces are traditionally inlaid with gilt-tooled leather, while structural elements include turned knobs, carved brackets, and inlaid floral marquetry.

Authentic nineteenth-century Davenport desks typically display hand-dovetailed drawer joints, original brass castors, genuine timber veneer over solid wood frames, and functional lock mechanisms on the side drawers.

Due to its compact footprint, a Davenport desk works well in small study nooks, hallways, or living room alcoves, providing a functional writing area and storage without dominating the spatial layout.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain. Keep the leather surface free from direct heat sources and avoid harsh solvent cleaners.
