The first thing that strikes you about this davenport desk is the condition, having just been restored by my very experienced restorer (50 years) it is consequently in excellent condition and is ready for immediate use in the home or for retailing in a prestigious showroom or fair. The second thing that strikes you about this desk is the colour and patination. The cabinetmaker that made this desk chose some very good quality timbers for the job, this has resulted all these years later in a desk with a gorgeous soft rich warm colour and patination that can only be attained by rosewood of this age and quality. Thirdly are the proportions, the design of this desk is just right and the desk benefits from having a good balance, meaning that it “sits” well with a real “presence” Now we know everything on ebay is “fantastic” “glorious” “superb” “brilliant” “magnificent” “greatest” “resplendent” “superior” etc etc but when we say this is a very good desk we mean it. Check out our feedback below for comments on our descriptions. We feel extremely confident that this desk will make a stunning addition to any home and will make its new owner very happy. This desk is being displayed at the centre and you are more than welcome to view it -along with the 3500+ other items for sale- in person. But please note if you leave it till the last moment to buy online it may have sold here at the centre and we reserve the right to cancel our obligation to sell if your purchase overlaps with another here at the centre.

Please note if you are a first time buyer of antiques:

The items have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they can gain minor scratches, marks and sometimes shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts or losses to any veneer, which a long with daily care and years of polishing go together to create individual character and patina. We describe any flaws in the items that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each of these marks separately. But if anything, we tend to be over critical of our items but if you are not sure please do not buy or take the view that the only way to have it absolutely perfect is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.
All that said we have never had a complaint about the quality of our stock, so buy with confidence and enjoy your purchase, with our guarantee that we will refund your purchase price should you be unhappy.
