Brynmawr Desk

Hand built in the 1930’s this substantial solid Oak knee hole desk is a fine example of the craftsmanship undertaken by the Brynmawr Furniture Company.

It is all in good order with a red leather inset top for a good writing surface.

Set up by the Quaker movement during the great depression the Brynmawr Experiment  trained men with new skills.

The furniture business was the most successful of all the workshops but even so it only lasted ten years from 1930 to 1940. Therefore Brynmawer pieces are not easy to find on the open market.
