About the Item

We are pleased to offer this truly exceptional early Biedermeier walnut chest of drawers – a rare, museum-quality example of Viennese craftsmanship from circa 1825. This elegant three-drawer commode is a perfect representation of the early Viennese Biedermeier period, known for its harmonious proportions, refined simplicity, and outstanding craftsmanship. The chest is veneered in absolutely stunning, bookmatched, highly figured walnut of the highest quality – the kind of walnut that was reserved only for the finest pieces made by the most skilled cabinetmakers. The remarkable grain pattern and deep amber tones create a sophisticated visual impact, and the 200-year-old patina adds warmth and authenticity. One of the highlights of this piece is its finely shaped legs, which feature subtle marquetry inlay. Their elegant, tapered form lends the chest a sense of lightness and grace – a signature of top-tier Viennese Biedermeier design. The original brass hardware and functioning locks are still present, further testifying to the piece’s authenticity and careful preservation over two centuries. Finished with a traditional French polish, the surface has a soft, rich sheen that enhances the depth and beauty of the walnut. This is not just a piece of furniture – it is a work of art. True early Biedermeier commodes of this caliber are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide. Dimensions: Height: 37.5 in. Width: 49 in. Depth: 25 in. Provenance: Vienna, circa 1825 French polish finish The chest is in very good condition and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
