Fine Pair of Viennese Biedermeier Chairs Attributed to Josef Danhauser — Vienna, Circa 1825
We are proud to present these rare and exquisitely designed fine pair of Biedermeier chairs, crafted in Vienna around 1825 and attributed to the most celebrated cabinetmaker of the period, Josef Danhauser. These remarkable pieces are a true reflection of early 19th-century Viennese innovation, with a design that feels as modern and relevant today as it did two centuries ago.
Viennese Biedermeier is admired for its elegant simplicity, perfect proportions, and masterful craftsmanship—all qualities that are beautifully embodied in these chairs. Danhauser’s influence is unmistakable: the clean, sculptural silhouette, fluid lines, and the bold yet understated sophistication that foreshadow the principles of modern design.
Crafted from gorgeous walnut veneer, the chairs are finished with a rich French polish in a deep amber tone that highlights the wood’s natural grain and adds a warm, glowing patina developed over two centuries. The overall aesthetic is both minimalist and refined, with a design language that speaks directly to today’s interiors—whether contemporary, minimalist, or classically elegant.
These pieces are not just historical furniture—they are design statements. Rare, authentic, and completely timeless.
