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.

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 characterised by a sloped top, hinged lid, and side drawers, originally commissioned in the late eighteenth century from Gillows of Lancaster by a Captain Davenport.

These pieces typically combine ebonised timber with contrasting veneers such as burr walnut, featuring a tool-gilded leather writing insert and a pierced brass gallery trim on the top compartment.

Authentic Victorian examples feature hand-dovetailed drawer construction, genuine timber crossbanding, turned wooden or brass feet, and functional brass locks on side drawers and slope lids.

A Davenport desk serves as a focal compact workstation in a hallway, library nook, or living area, pairing neatly with traditional brass lighting and modern architectural accent seating.

Clean the wood using a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or surface fading.
