Karl Johan, 19th Century, Commode, Birchwood, Sweden, circa 1840
Located in New York, NY
Karl Johan commode with two drawers, birchwood with ebonized inlay, origin: Sweden, circa 1840. A great night table and side table. The Biedermeier or Karl Johan Period in Sweden dates to circa 1820-1850. Named in Sweden after King Carl XIV Johan. Marshal Bernadotte, whom Napoleon appointed as ambassador to Sweden and then, after being adopted by the king of Sweden (who was childless), became Sweden's new King Karl Johan. The Swedish Karl Johan style, similar to Biedermeier, retained its elegant and Napoleonic style throughout the 19th century. As with any monarch, the King was determined to promote the arts and built Rosendal, his only private house in Sweden. One particular Swedish feature in these Karl-Johan pieces is the use of native Scandinavian blond woods; mainly birchwood and ebonized decoration, as seen in this piece, replace the ormolu mounts. Swedish Biedermeier furniture...
