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 small, compact writing desk defined by a sloped top writing surface, a hinged lid, and side-mounted drawers, originally designed in the late eighteenth century.

Victorian Davenport desks were commonly constructed using figured timber veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, frequently incorporating an inset leather writing surface and turned wooden handles.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces generally feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the side drawers, original brass or ceramic castors, functional locks, and characteristic carved or turned front supports.

Due to its compact footprint, a Davenport desk functions effectively as a dedicated writing station or laptop desk in a hallway, home office, bedroom alcove, or living area.

Dust the surfaces regularly using a clean microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the wood veneer, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and moisture.
