For sale is a restored three-drawer Biedermeier chest of drawers. This three-drawer Biedermeier chest of drawers, dating from around 1840, is an impressive masterpiece of craftsmanship and an outstanding example of the elegance of this era. Recently renovated and hand-polished with shellac, the chest of drawers captivates with its harmonious design and exquisite walnut veneer. The front, sides, and top are adorned with a spectacular, continuous walnut veneer that creates a unified, flowing image across all three drawers. This veneer lends the chest of drawers a warm, vibrant character and underscores the mastery of craftsmanship of that period. The brass fittings complement the look with a delicate, elegant touch and emphasize the luxurious character of the piece. The top is also veneered and features a precise, rounded profile on the front, emphasizing the design language of the Biedermeier style. The sides are also veneered, giving the chest of drawers a harmonious and high-quality appearance from every angle. A particularly attractive feature is that the veneer extends across the drawers, emphasizing the unity and elegance of the design. The chest stands on slightly tapered legs, which lend it a certain lightness despite its sturdy construction. The restored functionality is evident in the smooth-running and pleasantly scented drawers, which can be securely locked with a key. The interior of the chest has also been restored and completely sanded and cleaned. During the restoration process—which involved completely disassembling the chest—its depth was also reduced. This piece is not only a practical piece of furniture but a true gem, captivating with its beauty and historical value. It is a dream for lovers of high-quality antiques and should not be missed.
