About the Item
This elegant and truly exceptional early Viennese Biedermeier Secretaire, crafted in Vienna around 1825, embodies the refined proportions, purity of form, and outstanding craftsmanship that define the Golden Age of Viennese Biedermeier.
Viennese Biedermeier furniture is celebrated for its sophisticated design, perfect balance, and timeless elegance — qualities that continue to inspire contemporary interiors and leading designers around the world.
This remarkable piece features:
Solid walnut construction with beautifully bookmatched walnut and maple veneers, accented with subtle ebonized details.
A maple gallery with two hidden compartments and finely crafted drawers.
Original brass hardware and locks, preserved in excellent condition.
The Secretaire displays a highly figured walnut veneer with a warm, deep amber tone and a rich 200-year-old patina. Its surface is finished with a traditional French polish, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood and adding a luxurious depth of color and sheen.
This is more than just a piece of furniture — it is a museum-quality work of art, representing the very best of early 19th-century Viennese craftsmanship.
Authentic Biedermeier pieces of this quality and preservation are exceedingly rare and highly sought after by collectors and design connoisseurs alike.
Thanks to its clean, timeless lines, this Secretaire complements both classic and modern interiors, bringing warmth, sophistication, and historical depth to any space.
Biedermeier design is truly timeless — its harmony and elegance remain as relevant today as they were two centuries ago.
