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 hinged lid and a side-mounted bank of drawers, originally commissioned in the late 18th century for Captain Davenport.

These desks were commonly crafted from fine hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, walnut, or satinwood, often featuring brass keyhole escutcheons and hand-dovetailed drawer joints.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically display hand-cut dovetails, original ceramic or brass castors, period locking mechanisms, and decorative architectural supports such as turned or barley twist columns.

Position the piece in a study, hallway, or reading alcove paired with a modern desk lamp or contemporary accent chair to create an eclectic, layered interior design scheme.

Keep the timber positioned away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply high-quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the surface finish.
