Vienna, circa 1820, early Biedermeier period. Attributable to Joseph Danhauser or immediate circle. Very rare work table veneered in maple and precious maple feather with opposing grain patterns. Double amaranth threading, characteristic of Joseph Danhauser's furniture, as is, in truth, much of the line of this piece of furniture, including the inlaid and dyed rosettes at the edges of the top and the hinted turnings in the central crosspiece. Incredibly modern design for the time, evident in Danhauser's furniture. The work is perfectly preserved, consolidated, and with a shellac finish applied with a pad on the original patina using museum-standard techniques. Dimensions cm.40x63x77 height. Magnificent work with a design that "conquers time" with its sober and minimalist elegant line, also excellent for combining with high-end modern for a unique, exclusive, and refined elegant ensemble. From the warm golden amber color of the ancient maple patina with a true shellac pad finish. Joseph Ulrich Danhauser (1780-1829), a great Viennese cabinet maker, sculptor, and designer, documented his range of products in an extensive drawn catalog, parts of which (approximately 2,500) have survived the times and are now preserved in the MAK (Austrian Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna). This catalog includes, among other things, 153 chair models, 56 sofas, 179 types of chandeliers, and 124 curtains. All these models were numbered consecutively. He boasted a high-ranking clientele from all over the Austrian monarchy and Germany. Danhauser's exceptional quality and uniqueness as a furniture creator lies in the harmonious combination of concreteness and abstraction, functionality and emotion. Thus, he assumed the role of mediator between individuality and anonymity and became one of the most important inspirations for the modern avant-garde movement. The Danhauser manufactory was founded in 1814 and is a point of reference in the history of design and interior decoration. His very rare original creations that have survived the times are preserved in a few museums, castles, important antique dealers or prestigious private collections, mostly noble.
