Vienna 1815-20, Biedermeier period, circle of Joseph Danhauser. Rare and intact writing table, veneered in blond burr walnut with central drawer. The piece of furniture is intact, in original patina, and preserves the refreshed original shellac polishing using a museum standard technique. The miniature shows Joseph Danhauser's original design for a very similar piece of furniture, the writing table No. 39 (property of the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna). Dimensions 108x62, height 77 cm. Magnificent work with a "timeless" design, featuring sober and elegant lines, also excellent for combining with modern high-end furniture for a unique, exclusive, and refined ensemble. The warm golden amber color of the antique blond walnut patina is finished with true shellac applied with a pad. Joseph Ulrich Danhauser (1780-1829), a great Viennese cabinetmaker, sculptor, and designer, documented his range of products in an extensive illustrated catalog, parts of which (approx. 2,500) have survived to this day and are now preserved in the MAK (Austrian Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna). This catalog includes, among others, 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 lie 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 benchmark in the history of design and furniture. His very rare original creations that have survived to the present day are preserved in a few museums, castles, important antique shops, or prestigious private collections, mostly aristocratic.
