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 handsome antique 19th Century Welsh oak dresser, originating from the Swansea Valley. The dresser features a five-drawer base above a potboard, with elegant turned front legs and attractive turned feet to the front, and square legs to the rear. The drawers are framed with cockbeaded edges and fitted with later brass swan-neck handles, replacing an earlier set of wooden knobs. Above sits a well-proportioned three-shelf plate rack complete with original hooks, and fitted with brackets ready for wall fixing. Lovely rich oak colour and patina throughout; a very attractive example.

condition
Presented in good antique condition with age-related wear throughout, including marks, scratches and knocks consistent with use. There is a loss to the cockbeaded edge of the rack and a crack to the cornice, as shown in the photographs. The brass swan-neck handles are later replacements for an earlier set of wooden knobs, as evidenced on drawer fronts. The dresser is solid and sturdy throughout. Overall, a lovely piece.
Our carpenter inspects, repairs and restores our items where necessary, so you can buy with confidence. Please take the time to study all the photographs as they form part of the description and condition report. Additional photos are available on request.
