In the Biedermeier period, a 19th-century era in German-speaking regions named after a literary figure, society embraced a retreat into the private, the cozy, and the practical in response to Romanticism. Between 1815 and 1848, furniture was crafted in this style, characterized by simple elegance with only a few decorative elements. A distinctive feature of Biedermeier furniture is the use of beautiful veneers, often made from local woods such as walnut or cherry. In Vienna, Joseph Danhauser was a defining name in Biedermeier furniture manufacturing. Due to their simplicity and clean lines, Biedermeier pieces integrate seamlessly into modern interiors, adding a touch of elegance and connoisseurship.
