The 19th century produced an impressive variety of styles, with social change and new ideas about comfort clearly reflected in the furniture.
Biedermeier (approx. 1815–1848)
The Biedermeier style focuses on simple, comfortable forms. Cherry and pear wood provide warmth, while the furniture is functional and unobtrusive. This era appeals to those who prefer clarity and fine craftsmanship.
Victorian (approx. 1837–1901)
In the Victorian era, decoration became an expression of wealth. Dark woods, velvet, inlays, and lavish carvings characterize the aesthetic. Buyers appreciate this style for its romantic, prestigious effect.
Historicism / Wilhelminian period (approx. 1850–1900)
Historicism takes up different earlier styles and combines them in new ways. Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque are referenced and made accessible to a broad range of buyers. Opulent forms and decorative diversity make this furniture particularly interesting for collectors.
