Product Description
Product Description
Biedermeier furniture and interior design are recognized today as the first great flowering of haute bourgeois taste in interior design. Beginning in the early 19th century, these bourgeois ideals in design were pursued by a wide range of society from the Hapsburgs and Hohenzollern rulers to the middle classes, from Middle Europe to Italy. Yet Biedermeier's innate classicism, its lyrical and elegant forms, have made it an influential inspiration in our own time. "The World of Biedermeier" celebrates the elements of the style in furniture, decorative elements, paintings, crystal, porcelain and fabrics.

A study of style over substance
22 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book was filled with wonderful photos of the period but is essentially a pretty to look at coffee table book. It is not comprehensive in it's exploration of the style and does not have many examples of furniture to study. For the price l paid it is a disappointing resource to me as a furniture designer.

An Incredible Art Book
6 Aug 2006
Format:Hardcover
This is a bautifully done presentation of the Art of Biederrmeier. The book is fine quality and the printing work is beyond compare. You'll not be disappointed with this.
Must have but.....
9 April 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a must have for Biedermeier enthusiasts. The pictorial references are excellent. However, more expert analysis of the actual pieces and construction would have been appreciated. There are German books in the marketplace that, if translated and advertised as such, would be great references for the Anglo market.
