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 neat antique stripped captain’s armchair in the traditional manner, likely beech with an elm seat. The chair has a shaped horseshoe back and arms raised on turned spindle supports. The solid shaped seat is raised on four turned legs with double stretcher supports beneath. The chair has been stripped, leaving traces of the original finish throughout which contrast well against the lighter timber and give the piece a good honest appearance. Attractive colour throughout.

condition
In good antique condition throughout with some signs of age. There is surface wear in places including age-related marks, scratches and wear to the arms, seat and legs commensurate with age and use. There is minor evidence of historic woodworm to the legs which is long gone and has been treated as a precautionary measure. The antique captain’s chair remains structurally solid and sound with good tight joints. Overall, a rather pleasing 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.
