TRUTH !
Although the term became attached to a sofa marketed by the now defunct Davenport Furniture Company in the early 20th century, and grew to be a generic term for all sofas and divans, A Davenport is a small desk with an inclined lifting desktop attached with hinges to the back of the body. Lifting the desktop gives access to a large compartment giving ample storage space for paper and other writing implements, and smaller spaces in the forms of small drawers and pigeonholes. In addition, the Davenport has drawers on one of its sides, which are sometimes concealed by a panel. This stack of side drawers holds up the back of the desk and most of its weight. The front of the desk stands on thick legs or pillars which are often highly carved, somewhat exaggerated, thick Cabriole legs, but these are not essential.
