Biedermeier style wardrobe / cabinet, ash wood, around 1840 - Germany

Magnificent wardrobe or cabinet with elegant lines, a masterpiece of the bourgeois style of the first quarter of the 19th century prevailing in Germany and Austria (1815-1848) known as Biedermeier. Its elegant structure, with straight lines, is made of ash wood veneer and ornamented with delicate curved lines, typical of the style to which it belongs, as well as a pair of palmettes in the two upper corners, under the cornice that frames the structure. Interior divided by three shelves into four spaces. It retains the original lock and key.
This style characterizes German and Austrian furniture from 1815 (Congress of Vienna) to 1848 (beginning of the revolutionary movements). Its main characteristics are simplicity and functionality. As an origin, "Biedermeier" assumed, for the first time in this territory, a derogatory connotation. The word comes from "Bieder", or "simple" and from "Meir", one of the most common German surnames at the time and was the name of a "simple" character in an Eichrodt comedy. This term meant the conservative petty bourgeois, concerned only with his own family reality. Although in a derogatory way, the term represents exactly the new sociopolitical situation in which the bourgeois is forced or resigned to abandon the desires for democracy and freedom. The center of life therefore becomes the home, which is no longer characterized by unbridled luxury but by comfort and practicality. As a result, biedermeier furniture is functional, comfortable and easy to obtain. The style is an evolution of the Empire Style towards greater simplification, without ornamental and old-fashioned elements, lighter, linear and curved shapes, generally with lighter colors.
