Exquisite Biedermeier Secretaire, Germany, c. 1825–1830

About the Item

Exquisite Biedermeier Secretaire, Germany, c. 1825–1830 This exceptional Biedermeier secretaire, crafted in Germany between 1825 and 1830, embodies the elegance and refinement of the era. The piece showcases the hallmark characteristics of Biedermeier design, including a clean, architectural form and the masterful use of walnut veneer, which flows seamlessly across the entire front from bottom to top. The sides are equally adorned with beautifully figured walnut, enhancing its sophisticated aesthetic. The secretaire features four drawers: three spacious ones at the base and a smaller drawer above the fall-front. When opened, the fall-front reveals a stunningly designed interior, consisting of eight finely crafted maple drawers. These small drawers are fitted with delicate ebonised knobs, adding a subtle yet refined contrast. At the centre, a recessed compartment with a mirrored back adds depth and elegance. The interior of the fall-front is ebonised, offering a striking contrast to the warm walnut tones. The façade is distinguished by rounded corners, a refined detail that softens the piece’s architectural presence. The secretaire stands on gracefully sculpted yet sturdy bracket feet, providing both stability and lightness to the overall design. Dimensions: • Width: 113 cm • Depth: 54.5 cm • Height: 159 cm Condition: Fully restored and finished with a hand-applied French polish, ensuring a rich, lustrous surface. Ready for immediate use. A magnificent piece of 19th-century craftsmanship, perfect for collectors and admirers of fine Biedermeier furniture.
