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..”

This is a wonderful early 19th century antique camphor wood secretaire campaign chest. The antique campaign chest has a drop front top drawer that reveals a fitted secretaire interior, consisting of a worn leather writing surface and various pigeonholes, cupboards and drawers. The campaign chest has an arrangement of two short drawers above two long drawers, each fitted with recessed brass handles and decorative brass inlay. The two part campaign chest separates at the mid section for ease of transport and movement. A particularly pleasing example with good colour throughout. Item Ref; M-3796

condition
In good antique condition throughout with some signs of age. There is surface wear in places including age-related marks, scratches and staining to the top, front, and sides (pictured). The antique campaign chest remains structurally solid and sound with the drawers running well. The fitted interior remains in good condition with wear to the leather writing surface (pictured). There appears to have been carry handles to the sides of the chest, although these are no longer present. A good quality example. Our carpenter inspects, repairs, and restores our items, so you can have full confidence that what you buy from us is ready for your home! We ask that you take the time to look at all the photos as they form part of the description and condition report of the item.
