BIEDERMEIER TABLE

Austria 1830-1840
Massive writing desk made of softwood, fully veneered with thick walnut. Two side drawer blocks, each adorned with black pilasters, support the upper section with drawers and a top surface covered with green felt. 189x93x82 cm. Condition restored. Probably for easier handling, the desk was later (20th century) divided into separate sections. The upper part is loosely joined to the side drawer blocks by dowels..
