About the Item
Exceptional Viennese Biedermeier Lyre Desk, circa 1825
This rare and substantial single-drawer table desk is an outstanding example of early Viennese Biedermeier, created around 1825 at the height of the period. Furniture from this era is celebrated for its harmonious proportions, refined restraint, and masterful craftsmanship—qualities that continue to influence modern design to this day.
Belonging to the distinguished tradition of lyre-form desks from the Empire and Biedermeier periods, this piece represents a form that originated in Vienna and remains highly sought after by collectors and designers alike. Its elegant silhouette is both sculptural and functional, making it a striking yet understated presence in any interior.
The table is veneered in exceptionally figured walnut, book-matched with great precision and finished in a rich deep amber French polish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. The surface displays a luminous, warm tone and an authentic 200-year-old patina, impossible to replicate. Fine inlays and subtle ebonized details add to its sophistication without overpowering the design.
Crafted with remarkable attention to structure and balance, the table is solid, stable, and in very good condition, preserving its original character while remaining perfectly functional for contemporary use.
This desk is equally at home in a classic, modern, or minimalist interior—a testament to the timeless nature of true Biedermeier design. Whether placed in a private study, refined living space, or curated interior project, it offers quiet luxury and historical depth.
A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies the piece.
