Description:
Vienna 1820 ca. Rare tilt-top table from the early Biedermeier period, with a timeless design, possibly by Joseph Danhauser or someone in his immediate circle, finely veneered in cherry feather on a maple structure, in perfectly intact condition. In original patina, French polished with shellac using museum-standard techniques. Measures cm. height 83, diameter 130. Magnificent work with a design that "conquers time" with a sober and elegant line, also excellent for combining with high-end modern furniture for a unique, exclusive, and refined ensemble. The warm golden-pink color of the antique cherry patina is finished with true shellac padding. Joseph Ulrich Danhauser (1780-1829), a great Viennese cabinetmaker, sculptor, and designer, documented his range of products in an extensive designed catalog, parts of which (approximately 2,500) have survived the times and are now kept 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 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. Danhauser's factory was founded in 1814. It is a point of reference in the history of design and furniture. His very rare original creations that have survived the times are kept in a few museums, castles, important antique dealers, or prestigious private collections, mostly noble ones.
