Side tables in Biedermeiertimes

A rare piece of furniture from the early Biedermeier period, a round side table from Central Germany circa 1820 was an important piece of furniture in living spaces. Primarily used as a surface for daily objects such as books, letters, teapots, or candle holders, side tables were often made of wood and had a rectangular or round shape. They were often decoratively embellished with carvings or inlays.

In the bourgeois living culture of the Biedermeier period, side tables were a symbol of the desire for order and harmony in private life. They were meant to convey a cozy and tidy impression and provide the inhabitant with a certain sense of security. The use of side tables was also an expression of wealth and taste, as they were often produced through elaborate craftsmanship.

Overall, tables during the Biedermeier period had a functional and decorative significance and were an important part of bourgeois living culture.
