Of rarity and museum quality, especially for the conservation conditions and practical integrity, weekly chest of drawers from the very first Viennese Biedermeier period, veneered in the rare and precious bird's-eye maple burl. The furniture, in original patina, warm and golden, is Viennese from around 1815 and formerly owned by high Viennese nobility. The lateral columns are admirable, meticulously veneered in a helical mode with opposing veins. The effect and warmth of this precious essence is truly extraordinary, combined with the patina accumulated over the centuries with a shellac polishing, applied with a pad using museum-standard techniques. Bird's-eye maple burl is an essence that was normally used in small quantities in the inlay and decoration of cabinets and secretaires. Its use on the entire surface of the furniture is very rare and testifies to the high-ranking commissioner. It measures 179 cm in height, 112 cm in width, and 54 cm in depth.
