About the Item
Biedermeier Walnut Table – Vienna, circa 1820
From the Collection of Baron Von Planta, Budapest
This distinguished Biedermeier table, crafted in Vienna around 1825, stands as a testament to the refined aesthetic and craftsmanship of early 19th-century Central Europe. Made of richly grained walnut, the tabletop features an exquisite book-matched starburst veneer—its radiating geometry brought to life by a warm shellac polish and a delicately aged patina developed over two centuries.
More than a surface, the tabletop becomes a focal point of sculptural presence: the natural shimmer of the wood, paired with the harmony of its design, draws the observer into a quiet dialogue between form and function.
The table rises from a finely fluted central column to rest upon a rare hexagonal base, veneered in figured root walnut—an uncommon and prestigious material that further distinguishes the piece. The interplay between masterful carving and opulent veneer reflects the aspirations of a period that sought elegance not through opulence, but through clarity and craftsmanship.
This piece forms part of the personal collection of Baron Von Planta, a long-time resident of Budapest, whose lifelong interest in Biedermeier furniture and Central European applied arts has led to the preservation of several notable works. Carefully maintained and in exceptional condition, the table bears witness not only to a specific stylistic era, but to the enduring value of historical memory.
The Biedermeier period (1815–1848), emerging in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, represented a cultural shift toward intimacy, domestic comfort, and the elevation of natural materials. Rejecting the excesses of prior styles, Biedermeier design embraced proportion, functionality, and restraint—elements that would echo through later movements such as Art Deco and Modernism.
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, this table now invites the discerning eye not only to admire its beauty, but to reflect on the continuity between past and present. Whether placed in a classical or contemporary interior, it offers timeless elegance shaped by history, and a narrative that continues to unfold.
