Joseph Danhauser Vienna 1815-20, pair of tabourette armchairs n. 11

Joseph Danhauser Vienna 1815-20, attributable with practical certainty. Of rarity and museum quality, pair of tabourette armchairs n. 11, practically perfectly coinciding with the original tempera drawing kept at the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna (see miniature inserted in the first photo and complete drawing at the bottom of the page). The creations of Joseph Danhauser, a brilliant and prolific designer and cabinetmaker for the Viennese court and upper middle class, are considered at the top of Viennese art of the Biedermeier period and correspond to the birth of modern design and furniture. For this reason, his works have a "timeless" design, and seem almost conceived today for their modern lines, which are, in their simplicity and elegance, always current. His few original works that have come down to us are kept in the Albertina and Applied Arts museums in Vienna, and in rare prestigious private collections. These armchairs, which are in a state of absolute integrity, in patina, with shellac padding finish, are veneered in the best quality cherry feather. It was also possible, after sanitization and cleaning, to preserve the original upholstery and also a good part of the fabric of the time, which is located below the refined Jaquard fabric in empire style, in antique green, with which they were covered. Width 54 cm, depth 57 cm, height 77 cm, seat height 48 cm. At the bottom of the page is the drawing owned by the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, belonging to the part of the original Joseph Danhauser catalog that has been preserved and reached our time.
