About the Item

Exceptional Viennese Biedermeier Semainier – Vienna, circa 1825 We are pleased to present a truly outstanding and rare early Biedermeier semainier—a tall, seven-drawer chest—crafted in Vienna around 1825. This museum-quality piece exemplifies the hallmarks of Viennese Biedermeier design: refined proportions, elegant simplicity, and superb craftsmanship. These timeless characteristics have not only influenced modern design but continue to elevate any space they inhabit. The strikingly beautiful walnut veneer, with highly figured book-matched grain, displays a rich amber tone developed over two centuries, giving the piece a deep, natural patina that cannot be replicated. The original brass hardware and locks further underscore its authenticity and historical integrity. Set on tall block legs with ebonized feet, this commode achieves an elegant lightness, balancing both strength and delicacy. Each detail—from its clean lines to its flawless construction—embodies the essence of early Biedermeier aesthetic. Not only is this semainier a decorative masterpiece, it is also highly functional, offering ample storage with its seven spacious drawers—perfect for organizing linens, clothing, or valuables in both private and public interiors. Pieces of this exceptional quality and condition are exceedingly rare and highly sought after. Whether placed in a classic setting or a modern interior, this semainier brings a sense of timeless sophistication. Biedermeier is not just furniture—it is functional art.
