Biedermeier Cabinet

The Biedermeier Cherrywood Cabinet

The Biedermeier cabinet , crafted in Germany around 1830, is an outstanding example of the furniture art from this period. Theis piece is made of cherrywood veneered on a softwood corpus, giving it a warm and elegant appearance.

Doors and sides of the cabinet feature paneled inserts, providing it with a structured and appealing look. Inside, there are four adjustable shelves that offer generous storage space, making the cabinet both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Special details of the cabinet include ebonized key escutcheons and profile moldings on the cornice, base, feet, and stiles. These dark accents create a beautiful contrast with the light cherrywood, adding an extra touch of elegance to the cabinet.

The surface of the cabinet is finished with a shellac polish, which enhances the natural sheen of the wood while also providing a protective coating. This type of polish was typical for the Biedermeier period and highlights the fine craftsmanship and high-quality standards of the era.

Overall, the Biedermeier cherrywood cabinet represents the timeless beauty and functionality of Biedermeier furniture, characterized by its simple elegance and meticulous craftsmanship.

During the same period, this Biedermeier picture clock from Bingen was also created.
