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.

This Regency Davenport desk dates to approximately 1835 and exhibits dark brown rosewood construction with a polished finish, complemented by a black leather writing surface set into the slanted top. A pierced brass gallery runs along the top edge, while the structural design incorporates turned bun feet, flat rectangular moulding panels on the sides, and exposed dovetail joints on the open drawers. The practical dimensions are 86 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 60 cm deep, creating a compact footprint suitable for study spaces or living rooms. In a contemporary home, this writing desk functions as a decorative workstation, offering multiple pull-out side slides, an upper stationery compartment, and four lower drawers for organising everyday correspondence and small desk accessories.

FAQs

A Davenport desk is a compact writing cabinet characterised by an inclined writing surface with a hinged lid, resting over a body containing side-mounted drawers.

Regency Davenports were constructed using dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, frequently featuring pierced brass galleries, dovetail drawer joints, and leather writing inserts.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on the side drawers, original brass gallery rails, castors hidden beneath decorative feet, and natural wear patterns consistent with age.

Due to its compact footprint, a Davenport desk functions effectively in a home office alcove, hallway, or living room corner as a functional writing station or accent piece.

Maintain the timber finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying beeswax sparingly, while keeping the piece away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and moisture.
