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 attractive Victorian antique mahogany Davenport desk, having a hinged lift-up writing slope with a tooled leather inset opening to a fitted interior with small drawers and compartments. The right-hand side is fitted with a bank of four drawers with turned wooden knobs, while the opposing side features matching dummy drawers. The desk also benefits from a concealed side drawer, accessed by removing an internal drawer knob, a charming feature typical of this form. Raised on turned front supports with a shaped base above turned bun feet with concealed castors, this is a classic and practical 19th-century writing desk.
