Viennese Biedermeier Cabinet with Drawers, around 1825/30

A rare tall Vien­nese Laden­schrank in nut­wood-veneered exe­cu­tion on a soft­wood body, with round­ed edges and stand­ing on half-height legs. The draw­er front is visu­al­ly divid­ed into sev­en sec­tions, but in fact con­sists of only six drawers.

The two low­est of the six draw­ers were con­struct­ed as a sin­gle large draw­er. The piece is made in the so-called sans tra­verse form, and both the cor­nice and the base are exe­cut­ed with mould­ed profiles.

Par­tic­u­lar­ly rare is the twelve­fold mir­rored veneer pat­tern, which con­tin­ues seam­less­ly across the three vis­i­ble sides. Also remark­able are the orig­i­nal fit­tings, whose motifs are extreme­ly uncommon.

Fur­ther­more, this piece con­tains a nar­row secret draw­er, which only becomes vis­i­ble when one of the draw­ers is ful­ly removed and exam­ined on its underside.

A very rare tall Vien­nese Laden­schrank with beau­ti­ful­ly mir­rored nut veneer.
