Exclusive Antique Furniture

The Biedermeier style

This style was born as a response to the needs of the middle class – romantic artists referred to the style as “the art of townspeople for townspeople.” The furniture was to provide comfort during everyday activities – characterized by a simple style that was combined with functionality. The style made its mark especially on painting and sculpting. It is primarily visible in the furniture manufactured during that period. It became a response to the splendor of the Empire style. Furniture in the Biedermeier style stood in the houses of the middle class and in manor houses. Furniture from that period is very classic in form, and the decorations are over-moderate, which was liked by the bourgeois class. Furniture with class became common and made everyday life easier. With time, romantic art had a greater impact on the artistic finishing of the furniture. The Biedermeier style satiated furniture with an unrestrained profile and bolder adornments – the bourgeois’ need of comfort has been maintained. Today, the same furniture is considered exclusive and antique, and tempts collectors.
