Biedermeier Cabinets

Biedermeier Style

The authentic Biedermeier furniture on 1stDibs is representative of the first modern European decorative style not dictated by the tastes of the aristocracy. Following the Napoleonic wars, a growing, wealthy urban middle class in the German-speaking states of Central Europe began to demand rights and privileges once granted only to nobles. To avoid trouble, the upwardly striving confined their political discussions to one another’s homes. And so the salon was born.

Cabinetmakers in cities such as Vienna, Berlin and Mainz began to offer goods that reflected the tastes and needs of the new class. The makers of Biedermeier chairs, tables and other furniture used little or no gilding, silver hardware or other lavish ornament. Ebonized trims are common on Biedermeier cabinetry, and neoclassical elements — lyre-shaped chair splats, carved scrollwork, table supports shaped like Greek columns. But the strongest aesthetic statement came from the wood — richly-grained, honey-colored, often book-matched veneers of walnut and fruitwood.

There are two iconic Biedermeier furniture forms, both made to outfit rooms designed for conversation. One is the sofa, deeply upholstered with a strong, architectural wooden frame. The second is the circular pedestal table, which stood at the center of the room, offering a surface on which to place coffee and cake services; or to roll out a map, or sketch out ideas on paper.

“Biedermeier” was originally a derogatory term — it derives from the pen names of two German magazine writers who mocked bourgeois manners. Looking at the elegant and refined antique, new and vintage Biedermeier furniture offered on 1stDibs, that is now an amusing irony.

Located in Greven, DE

Two identical antique Biedermeier cupboards North-East Germany Poplar burl Biedermeier, c. 1825 Dimensions: H x W x D: 166 x 107 x 55 cm each Description: An extremely rare pair of Biedermeier false front cabinets from the Berlin/Brandenburg area, circa 1825. Standing on block feet, these pieces are designed in the style of a secretary desk, featuring suggested writing flaps and several drawer fronts that are merely decorative. The plinth sections project slightly and taper towards the rear in a hollow-chamfered crossbar. The upper sections of the cabinet, built upon these bases, are flanked by two free-standing columns with finely crafted Ionic capitals in wood-bronze. The pieces are crowned by Schinkel gables with dentil friezes beneath and round-arched galleries at the very top. Particularly striking is the full-surface poplar burl veneer. The carefully selected veneer shimmers in a variety of honey-coloured brown tones and is laid in an almost perfectly symmetrical pattern. Nothing is intended to distract from the beauty of the wood, and so even the sparingly inserted keystones merely mark the central axis without drawing attention to themselves. With its architectural design and perfect choice of veneer, this pair of pieces can be regarded as a prime example of Prussian furniture...
