Description:
Splendid trumeau furniture from the early 19th century.
The base consists of a wide pedestal drawer, the cabinet part above with cambered door and another wide drawer above under the top plate.
The highlight is the two massive columns that connect the above and below cabinet parts of the Demi-Lune cabinet.
Loosely attached and to be mounted on the wall in your home we see a large mirror with oval mirror surface.
To the top finishes a multiple profiled and cranked cornice.
Fine and very beautifully executed hardware in the form of swans, urn vases and Corinthian capitals, among others.
On the back there is an old owner's label: Emmy Kayser from Hamburg.
Precious cubamahogany in combination with fire-gilded bronze enjoyed great popularity both in the French Empire and in the furniture styles of Europe that developed parallel to it.
Starting from the courts of Paris, St. Petersburg and Vienna, the fashion soon spread to the German aristocratic residences. This piece of furniture is a good example of the similar design language of Empire and Biedermeier.
Mirrors in all eras without modern forms of lighting not only had the purpose of showing people their reflection in the mirror, but above all had the task of enhancing the sparse light in the room. The production of glass in general and mirrors in particular was not only complex and expensive, it was also technically impossible for a long time to produce large glass surfaces.
Windows in the house always harbored heat loss - another reason for small windows and thus quite dark rooms.
Condition:
Restored and shellac polished condition. Wonderful preservation of the applications.

- Early 19th Century Biedermeier Empire Secretary, Germany, Prussia, C. 1815Located in Greven, DENorth Germany / Prussia Birch Biedermeier / Empire around 1815 Dimensions: H x W x D: 174 x 102 x 55 cm Description: Very exclusive secretary from the Prussian North German Biedermeier period around 1815. Piece of furniture standing on pointed legs with two drawers at the bottom, the writing flap above, another drawer above and a hidden head drawer at the very top. The piece of furniture is veneered in exciting grained birch wood. Due to the different color hangings within the wood and the interplay of hues associated with it, we also refer to it as "flamed" birch. The beautiful wood is complemented by blackened moldings and beautiful fire-gilded bronze hardware in beautiful quality. The interior of the writing compartment is veneered in apple tree. We see a stair-like rise to a central door flanked by pilasters. Drawers of different sizes and two large compartments with dividers for letters and papers complete the secretary part. Looking at the piece of furniture from above, we see an old shipping label. According to it, the secretary was loaded onto the train at the station "Odertor" in Wroclaw. The destination was probably Berin. Corresponding mmarkings we find on the back panel. Piece of furniture made in wonderful quality craftsmanship. A true testament to the high quality of Prussian furniture...Category
