Biedermeier Style (1 янв 1815 г. – 1 янв 1848 г.)

Описание:

Biedermeier was an influential German style of furniture design that evolved during the years 1815–1848. The style emerged during an economic slump in Germany (following the Napoleonic wars), but also a time when the middle class was emerging as a significant division of society.

Although it kept some of the classical forms, Biedermeier rejected the dark ebony and mahogany so common in Empire furniture for lighter woods, like walnut, pear and cherry.
While Empire style was formal, impressive, gold accented and highly ornamented, Biedermeier designers embraced a more natural, relaxed look.

Common features of the style are curves, playful geometric shapes and an emphasis on the grain of the wood, as opposed to any kind of applied ornamentation.
