Penderyn Antiques

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 striking Victorian carved oak writing desk, having a rectangular moulded top fitted with a green leather inset writing surface with a gilt decorative border. Beneath the top sits a long frieze drawer, flanked by twin pedestal banks each containing three drawers, providing six drawers in total around a central kneehole. The drawer fronts are richly carved with scrolling foliage and distinctive Green Man masks, giving the desk a bold Gothic Revival character. The pedestals have panelled sides and the desk stands on plinth bases. The oak displays attractive grain and a warm patinated colour typical of Victorian furniture.
Interestingly, the reverse of the desk is fitted with two hinged extending arms, most likely intended to support an additional leaf to extend the writing surface if required.
