Penderyn Antiques

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
A charming antique 18th century Welsh oak dresser of two-part construction, with a moulded cornice above a boarded open plate rack fitted with two fixed shelves. The base has a broad plank top above three drawers, all fitted with traditional brass knob handles, over a pair of panelled cupboard doors enclosing a shelved interior. Constructed in beautifully figured oak with traditional panelled sides, this is a beautifully proportioned and highly practical piece. It retains a lovely rich oak colour and wonderful patina developed over centuries of use.

declaration
Penderyn Antiques has clarified that the Antique 18th Century Welsh Oak Dresser (LA578757) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 18th Century
condition
In good antique condition overall with surface wear, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. The top displays age-related wear, historic shrinkage and old repairs, all of which are typical for a piece of this age and add to its character. Notable repairs are to the front left corner and back edge. There are minor knocks and scuffs around the edges and feet, with general wear throughout commensurate with over two centuries of use. There is evidence of historic woodworm, particularly to the back which has long gone and been treated as a precaution. The drawers and cupboard doors open and close well, and the dresser is solid, sturdy and ready for everyday use. Overall, a lovely example.
