About the Item

This exceptional drop-front desk represents one of the finest examples of top-quality Viennese Biedermeier furniture from circa 1825. Renowned for its refined proportions, understated elegance, and impeccable craftsmanship, Viennese Biedermeier continues to inspire modern design and remains truly timeless. This rare desk is veneered in highly figured walnut, displaying a beautiful deep amber tone enriched by an authentic 200-year-old patina. The locking roll-top opens smoothly to reveal an ebonized sliding writing surface, combining elegance with excellent functionality. Behind the fall-front, the desk reveals a thoughtfully designed and exceptionally practical interior, featuring six drawers and two shelves arranged in a variety of sizes. These generously proportioned and highly capacious drawers provide outstanding storage and organization, making the desk as functional in everyday use as it is visually refined. The interior is predominantly veneered in fine maple with subtle ebonized accents, while delicate maple inlays further enhance the elegant character of the piece. The back of the desk is fully veneered, allowing it to be placed freely in the center of a room and appreciated from all sides. Whether placed in a classic or contemporary interior, this Biedermeier desk will serve as a striking focal point. Its restrained design and exceptional quality make it a seamless complement to any elegant space — proof that true Biedermeier design is timeless. The desk has been carefully restored in our Viennese workshop, using only original, period-appropriate conservation techniques. All work was carried out with the utmost respect for historical integrity, including a traditionally hand-applied French polish, ensuring both authenticity and long-term preservation of the original character. All brass hardware is original, and the construction is exceptionally solid and stable. A Certificate of Authenticity is provided. We offer air freight shipping at a discounted rate of $1,850, the safest method for transporting fine antiques. This service includes full insurance for complete peace of mind.
