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..”

condition
In good antique condition throughout with some signs of age. There is surface wear in places including age-related marks and scratches to the top and drawers fronts (pictured). There is shrinkage and splits to the sides and top (pictured). The antique Welsh oak cupboard has a couple of patch repairs to one of the drawer fronts (pictured). There is evidence of old historic woodworm to the back - this is long gone and has been fully treated as a precaution. The cupboard remains structurally solid and sound. Complete with working lock and key. Overall, a rather wonderful example of an antique oak Carmarthenshire Coffer. 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.
