Legs extended. Comparable objects can be found in the literature: Rainer Haaff - Biedermeier Möbel Deutschland Donaumonarchie S.301 Something interesting about cherrywood: The wood of the cherry tree ranks beside walnut wood among the probably most popular European noble woods. The reasons for this are simple: the wood has a beautiful, strong color, very good workability and it has always grown in the region. It belongs to the hardwoods, but is not as heavy and not as coarse-pored as oak wood, for example. The fine pored surface is well suited for shellac polishes. Cherrywood is particularly important for antiques from the early classicist and Biedermeier periods. The cherry was absolutely popular both as solid wood and cut to veneer. At the time of the Biedermeier, entire interiors were made of cherry wood. While in Germany and Austria cherry tree was primarily used as veneer, in France, especially in the provinces, tables, chairs, cupboards and chests of drawers were made of solid cherrywood. The texture of the cherry tree is simple and straight, ingrown branches or unevenly grown trunks enliven the wood. The reddish-brown color of the cherry tree darkens over the years and develops a beautiful patina. Cherry tree is still a popular wood not only for furniture making but also for handicrafts in general. It is also used to make musical instruments. The cherrywood -used at the time our antique furniture was created- always came from the region where the furniture was made.
