About the Item

An exceptional Viennese Biedermeier walnut sofa – Vienna, c. 1825 We are pleased to offer this rare and exquisitely elegant Biedermeier walnut sofa, crafted in Vienna circa 1825. This outstanding piece is a true testament to the timeless beauty and enduring influence of the Biedermeier style. What sets Viennese Biedermeier furniture apart is its balance of refined simplicity and architectural sophistication. Known for its precise proportions, minimalist elegance, and masterful craftsmanship, Biedermeier remains a cornerstone of European design and continues to inspire leading designers to this day. This particular sofa features a beautiful walnut veneer, brought to life by a warm amber tone and enriched with a French polish finish that highlights its stunning 200-year-old patina. The depth and glow of the wood surface create a sense of quiet luxury that only time and skill can achieve. The sofa offers excellent comfort and solid construction, making it not only a beautiful piece of art but a functional, welcoming addition to your living space. The upholstery complements the tone of the walnut perfectly, though the current fabric will need to be replaced due to age. It has already been fitted with a new undercoat upholstery, and the padding is in very good condition—so you are free to choose a fabric that suits your personal style or interior perfectly. In an age of mass production, few modern pieces can match the thoughtful design and handcrafted quality of this historic Biedermeier sofa. It’s a piece with soul, history, and artistic value—a genuine statement of taste and cultural appreciation. This is an authentic and rare example of high-quality Viennese Biedermeier, nearly impossible to find in such well-preserved condition. Whether placed in a classic or modern setting, this sofa will add elegance, charm, and a sense of timeless sophistication to any interior. Dimensions: Height: 35 inches Width: 56 inches Depth: 24 inches Finish: French polish Origin: Vienna, circa 1825 A Certificate of Authenticity is included. We are pleased to offer fully insured air delivery of this piece at a special discounted rate of $1600 (40% off standard price)—the safest and fastest method for transporting fine antiques. We also warmly invite you to explore our curated Biedermeier collection of over 120 museum-quality pieces from the golden period of 1820–30. For over 30 years, we have specialized exclusively in Austrian and Viennese Biedermeier, and our gallery is located in the heart of Vienna, where the style was born. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—we are happy to assist you in finding the perfect piece for your collection or home. Biedermeier is not just furniture. It is living art.
