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, sloping-front writing desk originally designed in the late 18th century, featuring a lift-top writing surface and side drawers or cupboards.

Victorian Davenports were frequently constructed using fine cabinet woods such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often featuring hand-tooled leather writing surfaces, brass gallery rails, and dovetailed drawers.

Authentic Victorian examples typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hardware or locks, authentic wear on the leather writing inset, and distinctive figurings like burr walnut veneers.

A Davenport desk works well as an occasional writing station in a hallway, bedroom alcove, or study, paired with contemporary lighting or understated artwork to complement the timber grain.

To preserve burr walnut, keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to protect the veneer.
