About the Item

This exquisite, early Biedermeier walnut chest of drawers was made in Vienna circa 1825. Viennese Biedermeier is renowned for its refined proportions, elegant lines, and exceptional craftsmanship—qualities that have had a lasting influence on modern design and continue to captivate collectors and designers alike. This particular piece stands out for its harmonious and modern proportions, showcasing the timeless elegance of Biedermeier furniture. It features four beautifully balanced drawers, richly veneered in highly figured walnut with a warm, light amber tone and enhanced by a stunning 200-year-old patina. The top drawer is noticeably shallower and subtly flares outward, adding a graceful touch of movement that enhances the sense of lightness and sophistication throughout the entire piece. A particularly refined feature is the use of exquisite ebony inlays around each keyhole—an elegant and rare decorative detail, meticulously executed with masterful precision. The original brass hardware and working locks further underscore its authenticity and historical integrity. The chest rests on tall, tapered block feet, elevating the piece both physically and visually. This gives it a floating quality, rarely seen in furniture of this era, and makes it an exceptional centerpiece in any refined space. Such a large and finely crafted Viennese Biedermeier commode is extremely rare on the market. It is not only a functional storage solution but also a true collector’s item—perfect for those who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and design excellence. Whether placed in a classic, transitional, or contemporary interior, this piece will add character, warmth, and sophistication. Biedermeier's timeless appeal ensures that it integrates effortlessly into a variety of design settings, from grand salons to minimalist spaces. We are pleased to offer international air shipping for a discounted rate of $1600. This is the safest and most secure method of transporting valuable antiques and includes full insurance.
