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 exceptionally pretty antique 18th century Welsh oak dresser of open-base, potboard form, made from well-figured timber with wonderful variation and intensity of colour and patina. The enclosed dresser rack has three shelves, partially shaped sides and a broad timber back, with original iron hooks to the top and cut-out grooves to one shelf, historically used for displaying and storing spoons. The rack slots into place within the raised plinth at the back of the base. The base is fitted with three drawers with later swan-neck brass handles, all perfectly in keeping with the piece. Below is a potboard supported by attractive shaped supports. A lovely example with glorious colour and patina.

condition
In good antique condition throughout with some signs of age. There is surface wear in places including age-related marks to the surface top, shelves and front. Evidence of historic woodworm, particularly to the back legs, which is long inactive and has been treated as a precaution. Two blocks have been added to level the dresser, which historically leaned backwards against a wall. The dresser rack is top-heavy and will need to be secured to the wall for safe use. Drawers run well, and the piece is solid and sound. Overall, a lovely example.
Our experienced carpenter meticulously inspects, repairs, and restores each item in our collection. This ensures that every piece you purchase from us is ready to be seamlessly incorporated into your home.
