This book sets out to investigate the wealth of the artistic production that developed in Central Europe (Austria and Bohemia in particular) in the first half of the 19th century, when Biedermeier appeared as an original attempt to give rise to a “universal” stylistic expression. Its simplicity of line, rigorous and simple although not lacking in elegance and refinement, the appearance of the first craft productions based on standard models and its unquestionable modernity all make Biedermeier the first example of design, the undisputed point of breakdown between Classicism and Modernism. Indeed, it is considered on the most fascinating genres of the 19th century.The volume offers a 360° view of Central European production using more than 300 objects of extraordinary originality, quality and workmanship from the National Gallery and Museum of Decorative and Applied Arts of Prague and from major Bohemian museums. Paintings, furnishings, sculptures, drawings, graphic works, artistic craftsmanship, jewels, ceramics and glassware that decorated the homes of gentry and bourgeois, miniatures, daguerreotypes... Remarkable pieces such as the refined lady's desk, designed and constructed in the workshop of the most important creator of Biedermeier furniture, the Viennese Josef Danhauser (1780- 1829), and a beautiful lyre- shaped secrétaire with walnut veneer and musical motif carvings that overcome the ostentation of Empire style.

Norman, Geraldine, Biedermeier Painting 1815-1848

This volume traces the evolution of eclectic European style from their roots in the Renaissance through the early 20th century. The 265 beautiful color photographs by Barbara and RenT Stoeltie and the text by Sigrid Sangl (furniture and woodwork department, Bavarian National Museum) illustrate and describe rooms in private houses throughout Germany and Austria, many of which have not been previously photographed. Topics include the influence of the Renaissance, Baroque grandeur and Roccoco fantasies, the impact of Classical antiquity and the Biedermeier style, the search for a true German style in the 19th century and the quest for a consciously modern one, and the rural tradition.

Gottlieb Biedermeier, a teasing middle-class papa best known for his appearances in a Munich satirical weekly, came to fame in the 1840s. A "god-loving everyman," he represented the typical German citizen, more interested in a comfortable home and a convivial family than political activism. The poets who created him, needling the bourgeoisie and signing their own work "Biedermeier," weren't thinking about the elegant housewares that now bear their pseudonym, varied by a letter. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, their alter ego had retroactively given his name to the aesthetics and philosophies of the period his attitudes suited so well, from 1815 to 1835. Biedermeier arts and crafts were orderly, frugal and simplistic. They tended to pare forms to their essentials, merging the useful with the beautiful. Eighteenth-century gilding and frills were stripped away in favor of the natural beauty of materials and shapes. What began as an intellectual critique soon developed into a new model for living. Biedermeier examines Biedermeier painting, furniture and decorative arts as a style and a cultural attitude. Visual arts of the period, which are still largely unstudied as distinct from Romanticism or the Nazarenes, are highlighted here in the work of Georg Friedrich Kersting and Eduard Gaertner. With nearly 300 outstanding examples of German, Austrian and Czechoslovakian paintings, furniture, related decorative arts and works on paper, this is a superb document of the innovative character of the period and its importance as a precursor to modernism.

This is a study which provides a definition of the Biedermeier style which goes beyond the decorative arts to include architecture, sculpture and painting. In the wake of the Napoleonic Wars, a confident middle class created its own style that reflected a time of political conservatism and retrenchment. Architects built public museums as monuments to the past, and sculptors created statues of members of society belonging neither to the aristocracy nor the military. Painting was characterized by a sober objectivity, while the decorative arts displayed an aversion to innovation, an avoidance of extremes, and a fascination with detail. This volume examines the output of Biedermeier artists and craftsmen devoting separate chapters to each area of the arts. It charts the entire span of this, the last unified and consciously created style before the heyday of Art Nouveau. George Biedermeier is the author of "Biedermeier Furniture" and "Geschichte des Deutschen Moebels".

The Latin term for cherry tree is ceraus and cherry wood is mainly used for producing furniture because of its hardness and beautiful color. Especially in the Biedermeier period this type of wood was very popular. We at Waidzeit Austria have also discovered this wood for ourselves and use it to make timelessly beautiful wristwatches. The noble black dial in combination with golden hands and numerals and golden crown perfectly completes this timeless wooden watch. In addition, the Cherry Black watch has an exquisite and beautiful wooden watchstrap with stainless steel elements. Wood adapts to its ambient climate. In humid environments or in direct contact with water, wood absorbs moisture and expands. Therefore, you should always remove the watch or glasses when showering or swimming or during other longer contact with water. Short term contact with water is harmless. If necessary, you can care for your wooden watch or wooden glasses with a dirt and water repellent oil (eg. chamomile oil or linseed oil).
