Penderyn Antiques are a family run business residing in an old Welsh chapel in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. We source and restore a wide range of furniture, antiques, interiors and collectables. We have no specific style that we adhere to, (if we like it, we’ll buy it!) but we do have a keen interest in early Welsh country furniture and unusual decorative items.
At Penderyn Antiques, we express an indebtedness to those nameless joiners who worked with wood so long ago before plastics and the age of automation. For in building furniture with integrity; so that it will last hundreds of years, they have been our mentors. Their work remains a testament to their commitment to their craft and excellence. Wood is the most used of all our natural resources. We have a duty to recycle, reuse, adapt and preserve it. We must use wood to create furniture that has longevity and combat the ‘throwaway’ society…even though it does grow on trees..”

Description
An exceptional early 18th-century oak mule chest, dated and inscribed PC 1723, retaining strong colour, detailing, and presence. The chest is constructed in the traditional manner, with a hinged top opening to reveal a generous interior with a later candle box to the left side. Below are two drawers fitted with brass swan-neck handles.
The oak has matured to a deep, warm tone with a wonderful patina throughout. The front features three fielded panels, each centred with decorative inlaid motifs. The lid is traditionally hinged and surmounted by a moulded cornice, and the chest is raised on turned bun feet. Overall, a lovely example.
