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

The Davenport desk originated in the late 18th century, named after Captain Davenport who commissioned the original design from cabinetmakers Gillows of Lancaster. The design evolved throughout the 19th century, becoming a popular compact writing desk during the Victorian era.

Victorian Davenport desks were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, frequently overlaid with decorative burr walnut veneers. High-end examples feature hand-carved cabriole or scroll legs and solid brass drawer handles and castors.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the side drawers, natural age-related patination on the veneer, and period-correct brass locks or castors. Look for characteristic side drawer banks, hidden pop-up stationery compartments, and carved leg supports typical of mid-to-late 19th-century cabinetmaking.

A Davenport desk works well in a hallway, home office, or living room alcove due to its compact footprint. Pair the desk with an upholstered period chair or a modern minimalist stool to create a functional writing area that serves as a focal point.

Maintain burr walnut by dusting regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer cracking or colour fading.
