About the Item

Biedermeier desk with oval table top and curved base. The legs consist of conical, fluted columns with ball capitals. A drawer is integrated into the frame. The desk is veneered in cherry and has been professionally restored and polished by hand. Joseph Ulrich Danhauser (Vienna, 1780 - 1829), after training as a sculptor at the Academy of Fine Arts, founded the "Etablissement für alle Gegenstände des Ameublements" in 1804. His workshop in the Czernin Palace produced a wide range of items, including furniture, lamps, and altars, employing over 100 people by 1808. Danhauser developed a successful paste for imitating bronze decorations, earning an exclusive production privilege in 1812. Due to high demand, branches were established in Graz and Budapest, with customers able to select items from catalogs for comprehensive interior design solutions.
