1815–1848
Biedermeier
Comfort invented for the middle class
Central European domestic furniture of 1815 to 1848: plain, local, and confident enough to leave the wood alone. Cherry, birch and ash, with classical motifs cut small.
What to look for
Pale local veneer rather than mahogany, minimal ornament, and a construction that is clean enough to read.
