Private sellerProduct description
Antique Biedermeier writing desk in cherry wood – ca. 1830–1840. Elegant antique Biedermeier writing desk in cherry wood, dating from circa 1830–1840. The desk was purchased in 2008 from an antique dealer in Germany. The original purchase receipt is still present and describes the piece as Biedermeier, cherry wood (Kirschbaum), circa 1830–1840. A beautiful piece of furniture with the clear, elegant proportions characteristic of the Biedermeier period. The desk features a spacious writing surface, two drawers with brass handles, tapered legs, and beautifully grained cherry wood with a warm patina. This elegant and very practical piece of furniture from the early 19th century possesses the simple Biedermeier lines that look excellent in both classic and modern interiors. Traditional construction details include solid wood drawers and handcrafted dovetail joints. The writing surface is attached to the base with rounded wooden pegs and can be easily removed, which facilitates transport. The desk is in very good antique condition, retaining the minor signs of use and age befitting a piece of furniture nearly 200 years old. At the time of purchase in 2008, the antique dealer had the legs professionally raised by approximately 6 cm, giving the desk a more practical, modern working height. This modification is visible upon closer inspection and is shown in the photos.
