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 Georgian antique oak writing bureau of handsome proportions, showcasing attractive figured oak drawer fronts with contrasting darker oak crossbanding throughout. The fall front opens to reveal a well-fitted interior, comprising a central cupboard flanked by pigeon holes and an arrangement of small drawers, providing ample storage for correspondence and writing accessories. Below are two short over three long graduated drawers, each fitted with brass swan-neck handles and escutcheons. The bureau stands on shaped bracket feet and displays a rich, warm patina acquired through years of use. A practical and decorative piece of Georgian furniture.

condition
In good antique condition throughout with signs of age and use. There is surface wear in places including age-related marks, scratches and minor knocks to the top, front, sides and interior, as photographed. There are some historic stains and marks within the fitted interior, together with general wear commensurate with age. The oak has developed a pleasing colour and patina over time. The bureau remains structurally solid and sound, with the drawers running well. The fitted interior is complete, and the fall front opens and closes as intended. The brass handles and escutcheons are later replacements in keeping with the period. Overall, a good and honest Georgian example with plenty of character.
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.
