Rare chiffonier chest of drawers/lingerie chest from the early Viennese Biedermeier period, practically intact and in original patina, veneered in flamed blond walnut feather. Vienna 1815-20 approx. There is an ingenious mechanical mechanism that ensures the closing of all the drawers by closing the first one, which is equipped with an original lock; all the other drawers can only be slightly opened by half-closing the first drawer in a particular position. Artwork in patina and in practically intact condition also in the hardware, with shellac finish applied by pad using a museum-standard technique. 148 x 72 x 40 cm deep. Magnificent artwork with a design that "wins the time" with its sober and elegant line, also excellent for pairing with high-end modern furniture for a unique, exclusive and refined elegance. From the warm golden amber color of the antique blond walnut patina with a real shellac finish applied by pad.
Check out the last photo of this listing, which is a fictional computer simulation where the artwork is imagined in a high-end modern furniture context. An extraordinary "modernity", brightness and abstraction emerge for a work conceived over two centuries ago, as well as a great touch of class and elegance to the whole. The high Viennese antique cabinetmaking, with its sober and minimal elegance, with its precious and light essences, is closely linked to the lines of modern furniture.
