Solid wood and root veneer.
With polished finish and antique patina.
Measurements: 141 x 65 x 41 cm (each).

Pair of oval pedestal-shelves, made of root veneer, with elliptical bodies and continuous molded plinth. Each piece has a front with a paneled door, discreetly integrated into the volume, and a smooth, slightly overhanging top, reinforcing the geometric purity of the whole.

These pieces are clearly inscribed in the formal language of the Biedermeier, characterized by ornamental sobriety, clarity of lines and the use of wood as the main decorative resource. The root veneer, arranged with special care to highlight its symmetrical grain and flamed effects, provides visual richness without resorting to excessive carving or superfluous elements.

The unusual oval design softens the volume and gives the pedestals a sculptural presence for integration into representative spaces. Overall, this pair is a remarkable example of Central European furniture.
