Vienna, circa 1820. Circle of Joseph Danhauser. Rare early Biedermeier etagere inlaid with blond burr walnut, with refined threading on all external sides of the columns. With splendid veins, typical of high Viennese cabinet making of the period, when the masters obtained the precious essences by skillfully extracting them from trees that grew in particular points of the woods around Vienna, kept secret by them. Particular and ebonized spheres, typical details of the Danhauser furniture factory. The etagere is freestanding with practical shelves delimited by small frames. In excellent condition, consolidated and restored with a conservative approach and according to the rules of art, with a shellac finish applied to the first original patina using a museum-standard technique. Measurements: height cm. 157, width cm. 65, depth cm. 43. In the box is the miniature of the original design by Joseph Dahnauser for a very similar etagere "Nottenstelle n. 8", in the graphic collection owned by the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna (published for cultural reasons). Perfect, warm, sober and bright furniture, also for matching with high-end modern furnishings for an ensemble of exclusive and refined elegance.
