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
An early Welsh oak coffer, originating from Breconshire and dated 1647 to the front panel. The coffer is of simple and honest form, constructed with broad oak planks and retaining a strong vernacular character throughout. The front is carved with the initials “W A” either side of the original iron lock plate, adding to the historic presence of the piece. The interior is fitted with a divided storage compartment, while the exterior displays roughly hewn single plank sides and back, typical of early country furniture of this period. The coffer retains excellent surface character and deep colour throughout, with visible age and wear contributing to its authenticity and appeal.
