The Biedermeier style developed in the Austrian Empire during the “Metternich era” (1815-1848), a period of peace after the Napoleonic Wars. A radical style adopted by the aristocracy and the Court, simultaneously sober and full of fantasy, stripped of all ostentation, it foretold of the Art Deco style to come a century later. This catalogue presents a collection of furniture, silverware, crystal and porcelain, wallpaper and fabric swatches, complemented by interior scenes and botanical studies.

After Milwaukee, Vienna and Berlin, the Biedermeier exhibition traveled to Paris, giving the French public an opportunity to discover the style, named for a fictitious “everyman”, little known to France.
