About the Item

We are pleased to offer you this exceptional early Biedermeier walnut chest of four drawers, an extraordinary piece created in Vienna around 1825—a true testament to the golden age of Austrian craftsmanship. This museum-quality chest is a rare example of Viennese Biedermeier design, celebrated for its harmonious proportions, refined silhouettes, and timeless elegance. These qualities not only define the Biedermeier aesthetic but have also left a lasting impact on the trajectory of modern furniture design. What sets this particular commode apart is the sublime architecture of its form. The three lower drawers are nestled between elegantly fluted columns adorned with gilded decorative elements, gracefully topped with carved caryatids—a subtle yet powerful nod to classical antiquity. These sculptural details lend the chest an aristocratic presence while maintaining the clean lines and functionality that are central to the Biedermeier ethos. The chest features exquisite book-matched walnut veneer, skillfully arranged to highlight the natural beauty of the wood grain. The surface glows with a deep, warm amber tone enhanced by two centuries of natural patina, lending it a depth and character that cannot be replicated in modern pieces. Its original fine brass hardware and locks remain intact, functioning beautifully and adding a touch of discreet opulence. The entire piece is finished in a traditional French polish, enhancing the rich, tactile quality of the wood. Resting on graceful, elevated legs, the chest maintains a sense of visual lightness and refinement—allowing it to sit comfortably in both contemporary and classic interiors. Whether placed in a salon, grand hallway, or sophisticated bedroom, it is certain to elevate any space it inhabits. This is not merely a functional storage piece—it is a true collector’s item, ideal for connoisseurs of fine European antiques. Chests of this scale, craftsmanship, and condition are exceedingly scarce, making this a unique opportunity to acquire a genuine work of art from the early 19th century. We are pleased to offer air transport of this chest at a discounted rate of $1600, which includes full insurance and white-glove care—ensuring the piece reaches you safely and swiftly. A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies the piece for your assurance and provenance. We also warmly invite you to explore our distinguished collection of over 120 original Biedermeier masterpieces, all dating from 1820–1830. For over 30 years, we have proudly specialized exclusively in Austrian/Viennese Biedermeier, operating from Vienna—the very heart of this historic design movement. We welcome all inquiries and are happy to provide additional images, videos, or information upon request. Biedermeier is not just furniture—it is art. It is culture. It is timeless.
