This elegant Biedermeier table dates from the early 19th century, circa 1820. It is characterised by its balanced proportions, refined craftsmanship and the warm appearance of its cherrywood veneer.

The tabletop is finely veneered and symmetrically mirrored, creating a harmonious and lively grain pattern. A subtle marquetry inlay enhances the surface and reflects the high level of cabinetmaking typical of the Biedermeier period. The softly curved apron and the slender, gently shaped legs give the table a light and graceful appearance.

The carcass is made of solid softwood and veneered with cherrywood. The surface shows a beautiful, naturally developed patina with minor signs of wear consistent with age, which add to the authentic character of the piece.

This table is a versatile antique furnishing, suitable as a small writing table, side table or elegant accent piece, and integrates effortlessly into both classic and contemporary interiors. See less
