FAQs

A Davenport desk is a small, compact writing desk named after Captain Davenport, who commissioned the original design from Gillows of Lancaster in the late eighteenth century. It typically features an inclined writing surface resting above a cabinet with drawers accessed from the side.

Davenport desks were primarily constructed from solid hardwoods and rich veneers, including mahogany, rosewood, walnut, and burr walnut. Details often include brass galleries, hand-carved supports, and leather writing inserts.

Authentic nineteenth-century Davenport desks exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the side drawers, original brass casters, and period-correct lock plates. authentic pieces often feature functional side drawers on one side paired with dummy drawers on the opposing side.

Due to its compact footprint, a Davenport desk functions well in modern spaces as a dedicated writing station, entryway hall desk, or decorative anchor within a living room nook or home office.

Preserve the wood by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer cracking and fading.
