FAQs

Named after Captain Davenport who commissioned the initial design in the late 18th century, a Davenport is a compact desk featuring a sloped writing surface atop a upright cabinet containing side drawers.

Victorian Davenports were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods and finished with fine veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, frequently incorporating gilt-tooled leather writing surfaces and brass or ceramic castors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints on side drawers, original brass or ceramic castors, period-correct lever locks, and natural signs of age along the sloped hinge mechanism and plinth base.

Due to its compact footprint and finished back panel, a Davenport functions effectively as an occasional writing desk in a hallway alcove, home study, or quiet corner of a living room.

Position the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent veneer movement, polish the timber periodically with natural beeswax, and wipe the leather writing surface gently with a soft, dry cloth.
