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 with a sloped top surface, designed with a side bank of drawers, commissioned originally in the late 18th century for maritime use before becoming popular in domestic settings.

Victorian Davenport desks were constructed from dense hardwoods such as walnut, burr walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, often featuring inset leather writing surfaces and pierced brass gallery rails.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass castors, side-opening drawers with carved front pillar supports, and authentic wear on the leather skiver.

A Davenport desk functions as a compact workstation in an alcove, a statement writing station in a living room corner, or a hallway console table in a traditional or eclectic interior.

Dust the timber with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly along the grain, while avoiding direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the veneer from drying or cracking.
