The master cabinetmakers of the Biedermeier period knew the places where the best trees grew and kept them secret. To obtain veneers with such beautiful patterns, they also knew the best parts of the tree and cut them with great skill, creating effects with the wood that constitute the particular attraction of true Biedermeier furniture and represent a uniqueness and excellence in the world of high antique furniture of all eras.
