A small writing desk used by ladies, usually with a sloped top insert with leather, a cupboard, slides and drawers for holding pens and paper. There is generally a row of drawers down one side, with false drawers on the opposing side, and the top is surmounted by a brass or fretwork gallery. Made to be freestanding, davenports are finished and polished on all four sides.

Piano top davenports, so called because the lid resembled that of a rounded piano lid, were introduced in about the 1830s. These 'top-of-the-range' piano front davenports usually include a rise and fall secret section, operated by a concealed button above a drawer operating via a system of counter balanced weights concealed in a cavity at the side of the main body, a and a well fitted pull out writing slope, drawers to one side and opposing dummy drawers.
