Rare Biedermeier Mahogany Globe Table/Globustisch on Tripod Base, 19thC

About the Item

A rare Biedermeier mahogany globe table or official known as Globustisch on tripod base with ebonized stem. The retractable globe-form top with segmented veneer panels open to reveal an interior fitted to reveal with secret compartments and drawers. The ‘Globustisch’ form was a highlight of the craftsmen working in Vienna during the Biedermeier period (1815-1848). They were hard to construct and, as a result, few were made. This form of table contributed to the training of designers and considerably more designs exist than executed final pieces.
