Additional Information

Style: Biedermeier (1815-1848)

The Biedermeier style is a style that characterizes German and Austrian furniture between approximately 1815 (Congress of Vienna) and 1848 (beginning of the revolutionary movements).
Its main features are essentiality and functionality, and the home destination.
Biedermeier first took on a derogatory connotation: the word derives from "Bieder", or "simpleton" and from "Meir", one of the most common German surnames at the time and was the name of a "simpleton" character in a comedy of Ludwig Eichrodt.
This term meant the conservative petty bourgeois, concerned only with his own family reality.
Even if in a derogatory way, the term represents exactly the new socio-political situation in which the bourgeois is forced or resigned to renounce the yearnings for democracy and freedom.
The center of life therefore becomes the home, no longer characterized by unbridled luxury but comfortable and practical.
Consequently, Biedermeier furniture are functional, comfortable and easily achievable products.
The style is an evolution of the Empire style towards greater simplification, without ornamental and antique elements, lighter, linear and curved shapes, lighter colors.

Main essence:

Mahogany

It is one of the most precious and sought-after woods in cabinet making. It was discovered in Central America around 1600 and began to be imported to England in the 1700s. Much appreciated for its hardness and indestructibility, it became widespread following the blocking of walnut exports from France in 1720 and the consequent elimination of English import duties on mahogany from the colonies in America and India. The most valuable version comes from Cuba, but it became very expensive. At the end of the 18th century it began to be used also in France in Louis XVI, Directory and Empire furniture, its diffusion declined starting from when Napoleon, in 1810, forbade its import. It was generally used in the manufacture of elegant furniture, due to its characteristics and beautiful grain.

Sessile Oak

Under the name of oak or oak various types of woods derived from plants of the genus quercus are grouped. They are always resistant, hard and compact woods. Oak is lighter than oak, both are used for more rustic furniture or for the interiors of French and English antique furniture. In other processes it was gradually replaced by the advent of exotic woods considered more valuable since the 18th century.
