Rare set of ten identical Biedermeier chairs.

Slightly flared square legs with lateral leg bracing. All wooden parts are connected by means of mortise and tenon joints and additionally fixed with wooden nails. The nail heads can be seen, among other places, at the connection points of the legs and frame. The straight frames are decorated with a carved frieze on the underside.
The boards serving as seats are rounded on the outside and discreetly profiled.
The backrests have curved decorative slats that are vaguely reminiscent of the shape of a lyre. The upper backrest is curved and rounded at the top for good seating comfort. The upper corners, i.e., the area where the back does not normally rest, stand out elegantly from the rounded shape.

The solid ash wood with its lively grain not only contributes significantly to the design of the chairs, but also impresses with its high bending strength and elasticity – properties that have always made it an ideal material for durable seating furniture.

We have fitted one of the chairs with an upholstered seat cushion as an example.
