Description

A quality oak headboard with attached bedside cabinets made by Brynmawr Furniture. Each bedside cabinet with an open shelf below the top and a cupboard beneath. Oak panel sides to the cabinets and headboard. The company’s white and black ivorine label to the back. Made to traditional furniture making methods and so excellent construction and quality.
History.
Brynmawr , South Wales was an unemployment blackspot in the late 1920s. The Quakers sought to bring aid to the area along with new skills and employment which became known as the ‘Brynmawr Experiment’ between 1929 to 1940.
Paul Matt (1901 - 1987), a skilled designer and cabinet maker from London, was inspired by the experiment, which led to development of Brynmawr Furniture Maker Ltd in 1931.
He was able to design furniture that was simple to construct (and was greatly inspired by the work of Gordon & Don Russell) using imported Northern European Oak and finished with a coat of clear wax giving the overall look of the furniture a simplicity and solidity in appearance in line with the Quaker philosophy.
Promotional literature emphasised the high quality of the design of products and affordability whilst providing employment for the local community. This appealed to the middle and professional classes of the 1930s. The furniture could be purchased from large department stores in Cardiff, Birmingham & Manchester as well as having its own shop in Cavendish Square, London.
Pieces of furniture were named after welsh place names eg Cwmbran chest.
The events of the second world war led to materials being difficult to import and the company ceased trading in 1940.

    Super easy to work with, answered all our questions so quickly and the chairs I bought have been lovingly waxed and cleaned - they are solid, practical and stylish - perfect for our home. I appreciate vintage furniture in part bc it is often a smaller size and that suits our Victorian house with its narrow proportions. And of course the quality & style & just mellow patina of quality vintage furniture is often far beyond much of today’s production standards. Steve is very accommodating and easy to work with; I also appreciated his sensible, non-bulky packaging - much of which is easily reusable. Thanks again!

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 24th March 2025

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.

However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.

To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.

Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.

Can I cancel an order?

There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.

If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.

Can I return an order?

We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.

The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).

You can return your order if...

It isn't what you expected

If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.

You change your mind

If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

It's damaged in transit

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.

What can't I return?

Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.

Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.

Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

I'm eligible for a return. Now what?

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.

How will I receive my refund?

Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.

All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
