Biedermeier 3-Seater Sofa

Silk Stripe Upholstery
First Half of the 19th Century

The Biedermeier style emerged in Austria and Germany between 1815 and 1848. While it was undoubtedly influenced by the French Empire style and the English Regency, after the Napoleonic Wars, Biedermeier developed as a movement favoring simplicity and elegance. It is believed that local cabinetmakers, rather than prestigious workshops, created these pieces to cater to the prosperous middle class.
