Biedermeier Furniture......Beautiful Blonde Wood

This post celebrates Biederdeier furniture which is made from what is referred to as blonde wood. There are several other "blondes" but this particular style is my favorite. Most often constructed along classical lines, it was usually made of light colored, less expensive woods like elm or fruitwoods, but ash, walnut, maple, birch, beech, and even mahogany examples exist. Black and gold paint was used for embellishment.

After Napoleon's very last defeat, Europe settled all the way down to an extended period of peace. The middle lessons, who were prospering, wanted a less difficult fashion, which can be practical as well as stunning. This fashion, later called 'Biedermeier', is essentially Empire fixtures shorn of its ormolu mounts, immoderate gilding and aggressive self-importance.

As Biedermeier isn't always a conventional Anglo-Saxon fashion, it frequently appeals to people in creative professions together with advertising and marketing, adorning, and the tune and film industries. Elton John supplied his complete house in London with blond Biedermeier furniture and some Art Deco portions. Another rock artist to appreciate the style become the overdue rock singer Freddie Mercury from the band Queen. Biedermeier's diffused appeal lies in its simplicity, that is so without problems blended with each Art Deco and cutting-edge fixtures, growing a comfortable temper and informal surroundings, in contrast to the numerous vintage patterns, which call for a more formal placing.
