A Once In A Lifetime Biedemeir Mahogany Needlpoint Chair
In a Europe ravaged and financially devastated by the Napoleonic wars, the simpler, less ornate Biedermeier style emerged, centered on family life and easy comfort. Mr. Biedermeier was not a cabinetmaker, or a famous designer. That style was named after a good-natured cartoon figure Papa Biedermeier (whose name bieder means "plain" in German), the style derived from neoclassical imperial French Empire and spread through Germany, Austria and Scandinavia from 1815 to 1848. Stylized flora and fauna motifs, elegant, but simple, porcelains and glassware, richly veneered furniture of restrained classical lines in light-colored native woods characterize the style, a forerunner of the cleanly elegant Modern Movements. True Biedermeier is Austro- Hungarian furniture made during the first half of the 19th century. Revival periods include 1860, late 19th Century and again in the 1920s. This fabulous mahogany needlepoint chair is a once in a lifetime find. It features a simple carved backless back with gentle natural carvings. The apron and slight cabriole legs feature this simple elegance. The upholstery has a pretty pink needlepoint background with a beautiful rose, blue, and champagne floral arrangement. The edge of the upholstery is finished with wonderfully hand placed nail head trim. This will be really a lovely accent chair in a formal living room or pretty sitting. It will bring lots of compliments from all those who see it.
