About the Item

This elegant ladies desk dates from the early Biedermeier period around 1820 and was made in Germany. Crafted primarily from solid cherrywood, the desk reflects the restrained and functional design language characteristic of early 19th century Biedermeier furniture. The warm tone and lively grain of the cherrywood are particularly evident on the top and apron, giving the piece a refined yet understated presence. The desk stands on slender, sculptural supports connected by a stabilizing stretcher, providing both visual lightness and structural stability. A central drawer offers practical storage and allows the piece to function not only as a small writing desk but also as a side table or console in a living or bedroom setting. The desk has been professionally restored and is in very good condition, with a smooth polished surface and a stable construction. Its compact proportions make it a versatile and authentic example of early Biedermeier craftsmanship, suitable for both classic and modern interiors.
