BIEDERMEIER
The Biedermeier was an artistic and ornamental movement that developed in the historical period between 1815 and 1848. Very popular among the German and Austrian bourgeoisie, it is often called "romantic" genre.
This style was born in contrast to the so-called Empire Style, in the period immediately after the Congress of Vienna, of which it resumes a decisive "desire for normality". Especially for this reason, the Biedermeier has often been referred to as the "Restoration style". The aim underlying the Biedermeier style in fact is to enhance sobriety and harmony, taking part of the stylistic motifs from the previous period, but stripping them of all the decorations, trappings and excesses that had characterized it. All this is consistent with the socio-political situation of the moment, which seeks to forget the tumultuous events of the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Empire.
The advent of the Industrial Revolution also plays a decisive role in the style, offering functional products with simple lines, and therefore easily manufactured. This tendency is found in architecture as much as in furniture, music as in literature, and produces solemn but sober atmospheres, devoid of golden decorations but rich in usual, everyday elements. The Biedermeier furnishing introduces the use of carpets, curtains and new types of furniture, such as the display cabinet, the folding cabinet, the upholstered sofa, as well as the diffusion of precious materials such as mahogany and cherry.
