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..”

declaration
Penderyn Antiques has clarified that the Antique 19th Century Oak Coffer (LA584669) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 19th century
condition
In good, solid antique condition with considerable age-related wear and character throughout. The top has various old marks, scratches, knocks, indentations and areas of surface wear, together with age-related splits and movement between the boards. There are several deeper old knocks/losses to the top and edges, as pictured.
Further scratches, marks, colour variation and wear throughout the exterior and interior consistent with age and use. Evidence of old repairs and alterations to the underside, along with evidence of historic woodworm - but this has long gone and been treated as a precaution. Despite the cosmetic wear, the coffer remains structurally solid and sound, with the lid opening and closing as it should. Overall a characterful example with a lovely deep oak colour.
