HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
The early 19th century Biedermeier style marks the transitional period between Neoclassicism and Romanticism.
The Biedermeier period was an era in Central Europe between 1815 and 1848, during which the middle class grew in number and the arts appealed to common sensibilities. It began with the Congress of Vienna at the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and ended with the onset of the Revolutions of 1848.
Biedermeier was an influential German style of furniture design that evolved throughout the first half of the 19th-century, extending into Austria-Hungary, followed by Northern Europe, each creating their own styles, including Swedish and Scandinavian taste. Throughout the period, emphasis was kept upon clean lines, simplicity, and minimal ornamentation consistent with the basis of Biedermeier in utilitarian principles.
As the period progressed however, the style moved from the early rebellion against Romantic era elaborate ornamentation and fussiness to increasingly ornate commissions by a rising middle class, eager to show their newfound wealth, eventually giving rise to Wilhelminian and Victorian style, and the coinciding French Belle Époque era.
Stylistically, Biedermeier furniture softened the rigidity of the Empire style. The cabinetmakers used light, native woods instead of expensive imported woods and avoided the use of metal ornamentation.
