Bridge table
The Biedermeier Bridge Table from France, dated around 1820, is a remarkable piece of furniture that impresses with both its functionality and its exquisite craftsmanship. This versatile piece of furniture can be folded up and placed against the wall as an elegant console table or between two sofas and fits harmoniously into various living styles.
The table top is veneered with fine bird’s eye maple, which is known for its characteristic grain and gives the table a special visual depth. The artistic band inlays made of mahogany and ash add additional accents and testify to the high craftsmanship of the Biedermeier style. This combination of fine woods creates an appealing aesthetic that is both timeless and elegant.
A standout feature of this table is the ability to unfold it and use it as a game table. The felt-covered playing surface not only offers practical use, but also makes the table a social centerpiece for game nights with family and friends.
The table rests on a cut-out quatrefoil base that supports a rising conical pilaster. This design gives the piece of furniture stability and elegance. The rolled and inlaid volutes act as feet and are not only decorative but also functional: underneath them are castors that allow the table to be moved effortlessly.
The very beautiful restoration in shellac hand polish ensures that the natural beauty of the wood is brought out while preserving the charm of times gone by.
Overall, this Biedermeier Bridge table is a fascinating example of the combination of functionality and aesthetic design. It tells the story of an era in which furniture was not only practical but also valued as a work of art. This piece is ideal for lovers of classic furniture and brings a touch of elegance to any home.
To accompany this fascinating Bridge table, it needs a picture from the same period, this view by Kiedrich , signed and dated: “C.Adloff,1856″ for example.
