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 19th-century writing desk featuring an inclined leather-lined writing slope above a bank of drawers, named after Captain Davenport who commissioned the original design.

Late Victorian Davenport desks are typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as figured walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often featuring leather writing surfaces and turned wooden or brass drawer pulls.

Authentic Victorian examples feature hand-dovetailed drawer joints, original castors, carved cabriole or scroll front supports, and natural wear patterns across the wood grain and leather slope.

A Davenport desk serves as a compact workspace in a home office, hallway, or living room, pairing naturally with traditional upholstery, brass accents, or modern neutral backdrops.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the wood grain once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
