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..”

A unique and attractive Edwardian mahogany envelope card table. The square top twists on its base and opens in the form of an envelope to reveal a green baize card-playing surface, complete with circular divots for holding chips or other game pieces. To one side is a fitted drawer with ceramic knob handles, accented with fine brass inlay. A shaped apron runs the full way around the table, with inlay throughout, and additional inlay detailing enhances the sides and legs, highlighting the quality craftsmanship. The table is raised on four elegant cabriole legs with carved detail, each terminating in castors for ease of movement. A particularly fine example, full of character and charm.
