{"product_id":"4-russische-biedermeiersessel","title":"Four armchairs, burr birch, Russian\/Baltic Biedermeier, circa 1835\/40","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSet of four identical armchairs in burr birch (Karelian birch), circa 1835\/40. The backrests are designed as wide, shouldered board backs and are tilted backward; the legs splay out backward as saber legs. This silhouette harks back to the ancient Klismos form, which was revived during Classicism and Biedermeier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe armrests are strongly curved and end at the front in a striking volute in a snail shape and fine marquetry work in palisander, which are considered hallmarks of high-quality Russian furniture from this period. The seat narrows towards the back, from a clear width of 53 cm (outer dimension 60 cm) at the front to 38 cm inner dimension (outer dimension 44 cm) at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach backrest features a dark inlay: a symmetrical palmette and delicate floral elements. Delicate dark wood inlays on a light background are the characteristic decorative principle of Russian Biedermeier, which is noticeably richer here than the restrained German Biedermeier of the same period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe veneer shows the densely speckled, almost eye-like grain of Karelian birch, a honey-colored wood that was considered a hallmark of high-quality furniture in Russia and the Baltic states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_chunkWrapper_yu34g_39\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_animating_yu34g_10\"\u003eUpholstery and cover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_chunkWrapper_yu34g_39\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_animating_yu34g_10\"\u003eThe seats \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_animating_yu34g_10\"\u003eare newly upholstered and covered \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_animating_yu34g_10\"\u003ewith a furnishing fabric from Höpke: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_animating_yu34g_10\"\u003eBaronesse collection, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_animating_yu34g_10\"\u003eValetto 754 fabric type.

The tsarist court and the high nobility were oriented towards French aesthetics; French cabinetmakers worked in St. Petersburg, designs circulated between Paris and Russia. Unlike in Germany, where Biedermeier was a bourgeois culture of retreat, in Russia it remained a style of the aristocracy, and the woods, form, and decoration are accordingly more elaborate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDimensions and execution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSeat height: 51 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBackrest height: 87 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eArmrest height: 68.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSeat width front: 60 cm (outer) \/ 53 cm (between armrests)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSeat width rear: 44 cm (outer) \/ 38 cm (inner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSeat depth: 51 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaterial: Burr birch (Karelian birch), veneered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDecoration: dark inlay on the backrests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eForm: Klismos\/saber-leg chair form, curved armrests with volute, saber legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eQuantity: four armchairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUpholstery: newly upholstered, striped floral damask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Russian\/Baltic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePeriod: 1835\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: professionally restored, completely new upholstery, new shellac\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_chunkWrapper_yu34g_39\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Antiquitäten Hochheim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54650457751820,"sku":"AH-0168-EX","price":14000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/2596\/7298\/files\/4-russische-biedermeiersessel-548.webp?v=1786093338","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquitaeten-hochheim.de\/en\/products\/4-russische-biedermeiersessel","provider":"Antiquitäten Hochheim","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
