Biedermeier Tall Trumeau Chest, c. 1825.

Elegant and Rare Tall Viennese Biedermeier Trumeau Chest – Circa 1825

We are honored to present an exceptional and elegant tall Viennese Biedermeier trumeau chest, crafted circa 1825 – a rare masterpiece that embodies the purity, refinement, and artistic excellence of early 19th-century Austrian design.

This tall commode exemplifies all that makes Viennese Biedermeier furniture so revered: sophisticated proportions, architectural clarity, masterful joinery, and a timeless elegance that continues to inspire modern design aesthetics to this day.

Crafted in highly figured walnut veneer, the surface reveals stunning natural grain patterns, accentuated by a deep amber French polish finish that gives the piece its warm, glowing tone. The beautifully aged 200-year-old patina enhances its authenticity and historical charm. Of particular note are the subtle green hues in some areas of the veneer – a rare and striking visual effect that occurs naturally in walnut of this age and quality, making this piece truly one-of-a-kind.

Functionality meets beauty: the commode features three spacious interior shelves and a finely crafted top drawer, offering elegant and practical storage. A rare and intriguing historical detail is the 19th-century Austrian Railways sticker affixed to the back, marked “Wien Westbahnhof” – an original trace of the piece’s early provenance and a testament to its historical journey through time.

Pieces of this quality and rarity are increasingly difficult to find, and acquiring an original Viennese Biedermeier trumeau of such preserved condition and decorative presence represents a significant opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Whether placed in a classic interior or a modern architectural space, this chest will serve as a powerful focal point – a conversation piece that radiates elegance, history, and artistic integrity. Biedermeier, with its clean lines and noble simplicity, is the perfect bridge between tradition and modernity.

The chest is in very good condition, with all surfaces, structure, and finishes carefully preserved. It is offered with a Certificate of Authenticity, attesting to its origin, age, and value.
