About the Item

This outstanding Biedermeier bench, crafted in Vienna around 1825, is a remarkable example of early 19th-century design—timeless, refined, and full of quiet character. Made from solid walnut, the piece showcases the natural beauty of the wood’s deep grain, enriched by a warm, hand-applied French polish that has developed a glowing patina over two centuries. The bench’s elegant lines and balanced proportions reflect the essence of the Viennese Biedermeier style: sophisticated yet restrained, artistic yet functional. Every detail speaks to the skill of the original cabinetmaker. The gently curved backrest flows gracefully into the arms, while the frame's clean silhouette offers a sense of calm and harmony. The seat, crafted from finely woven wicker, adds an unexpected touch of lightness and texture—beautifully complementing the richness of the walnut and enhancing the overall elegance of the piece. Fully restored in our Vienna-based atelier using traditional 19th-century techniques, the bench remains true to its original form and spirit. Structural integrity has been carefully preserved, while the finish and details have been lovingly refreshed to honor its age and authenticity. Comfortable, stylish, and versatile, this bench is equally at home in classic or contemporary interiors—whether in an entryway, living room, or gallery setting. It’s not just a piece of furniture; it’s a slice of Viennese cultural history. A Certificate of Authenticity is included. Insured worldwide air shipping is available for $1,700 to ensure safe delivery.
