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.

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 top with a hinged lid and a bank of drawers on one side, originally created for Captain Davenport in the late 18th century.

Davenport desks were crafted using dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, and walnut, frequently fitted with inset leather writing surfaces and brass gallery rails.

Authentic Victorian Davenport desks feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass locks, side-mounted drawers, and distinct natural wood grain patterns such as figured rosewood or burr walnut.

A Davenport desk functions as a compact writing workstation or decorative accent piece in a study, library, or hallway, pairing effectively with contemporary seating or neutral wall backdrops.

Keep rosewood furniture situated away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying or split veneer, clean with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply natural beeswax polish periodically to retain surface finish.
