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 compact writing desk characterised by a sloped writing surface positioned over a chest of drawers or side-opening compartments, originally designed in the late 18th century for Captain Davenport.

Davenports were traditionally constructed using solid hardwoods and decorative veneers, including mahogany, walnut, rosewood, and olivewood, often enhanced with parquetry inlay and hand-carved details.

Authentic 19th-century Davenport desks feature hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct brass hardware, functional side drawers or doors, and natural signs of wear along the wood grain and carved edges.

Position the desk in a quiet study alcove, hallway, or living room corner paired with a low-profile side chair to highlight its compact footprint and decorative woodwork.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish annually to nourish the timber, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or cracking.
