Vienna, circa 1820-25. Very rare writing desk from the early Viennese Biedermeier period, in excellent condition, with original patina and French polish applied using museum-standard techniques. It is veneered in exceptional quality blonde walnut feathering, contrasted with neoclassical vase-like motifs, fully carved from slightly darker walnut, creating a sober and elegant combination. Decorative motifs along the edges of the top, in the central crosspiece, and along the entire body with threadings made from counter-grain combined walnut feathering. This piece of furniture represents the highest level of Viennese cabinetmaking during the Biedermeier period, known for its elegance, sobriety, and abstraction, closely resembling the work of the great designer Joseph Danhauser. Perfectly suitable for modern decor, creating a very classy ensemble. It boasts a splendid original patina and an appealing blonde-amber color that the photos do not fully capture.
