Fine Regency Rosewood Sliding Top Davenport C.1825

19th century
For Sale by The Ark Stores
Description

An outstanding Regency rosewood Davenport desk in the manner of Gillows with a raised and mirrored gallery. In remarkably original condition, it still retains the original keys and working locks. The leathered slope has a brass supporting strut enabling comfortable access to the interior. There are two sliding shelves, one to each side. The sliding pen drawer is secured by an internal peg in the form of a faux drawer pull. The desk is easily manoeuvred with the assistance of hidden castors behind the lower skirt. The four drawers to the body open smoothly to the right hand side with original bun handles. The appearance to the left is similar but with faux drawer fronts and handles. There are marks and scratches commensurate with age and some minor chips to the veneer at base but overall in super condition. A fabulous and practical design oozing period quality.

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 characterised by a sloping top hinged above a cabinet or bank of side drawers, originally named after a Captain Davenport who commissioned the design in the late 18th century.

Regency Davenport desks were typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, featuring brass gallery rails, hand-cut dovetail joints, and tool-embossed leather writing surfaces.

Authentic Regency pieces feature hand-carved drawer runners, period-correct brass castors or escutcheon plates, natural wood oxidisation patterns, and mechanisms such as sliding desk tops or secret side drawers.

Its compact footprint makes it ideal for styling in quiet study alcoves, bedrooms, or hallways as a statement writing station paired with contemporary task lighting and minimalist accessories.

Keep the desk away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer shrinkage, clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the wood grain twice yearly.
