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.

Located in Paris, FR
Austrian Biedermeier-period sofa crafted of mahogany veneer, upholstered in beige fabric with geometric motifs. This refined piece of furniture has rolled armrests decorated with twisted patterns and medallions, and large backrest highlighted with scrolls and palmette. The sofa rests on four square fluted legs.
The Biedermeier period began in the states of the German Confederation and in the Austrian Empire in 1815 (Congress of Vienna) and ended in 1848 (March Revolution). The Biedermeier style referred mainly to the decorative arts, but also included sculpture and painting. In contrast to the opulence and heroism of Napoleon's Empire, the Biedermeier style promoted calm and simplicity. From 1830 onwards, it embodied a new, comfortable, bourgeois way of life.
In furnishing, the emphasis was placed on the structure of the furniture that had robust and geometrical forms, softened by curves. The simplicity of the materials, mainly light woods, was compensated by the variety and exuberance of the forms the backrests of the seats were carved in fan shape, the armrests of the sofas rolled...
