Biedermeier Bed, 19th Century
Southern German about 1840s. Dimensions: H: 93,5 x Br. 190 x T. 90 cm (high by 36.8, wide by 74.8, deep by 35.4). Clean, simple lines with typically little ornamentation. The head-and footboards are elegantly constructed in curved form and all parts altogether finished with fine walnut burl veneer work. Fine antique furniture from the period of Biedermeier. Original and unrestored with minor traces of use, generally good condition.
Burl. Wood from an abnormal or diseased portion of a tree root or trunk (often caused by injury to the bark). Burl wood is highly prized for furniture design because the grain exhibits spectacular mottled or speckled patterns that are used to create the beautiful veneers found in formal and provincial furniture. Although rare, burls are most often found in walnut and elm.
