ABOUT PRODUCTID 5220
This two-tier Biedermeier egg stand was crafted in France between 1860 and 1890, exemplifying utilitarian 19th-century craftsmanship. Made from stained walnut wood, it features harmonious proportions: 31.5 cm high, 35 cm wide, and 24 cm deep. The warm, medium walnut brown—accented with a subtle golden undertone—emerges beneath a semi-matte finish, highlighting the natural grain and occasional knots. Both tiers are equipped with evenly spaced, circular cutouts, accommodating up to 50 eggs. Rounded edges, turned and slightly tapered legs, and spherical finials at the upper corners display the understated decorative flair characteristic of the Biedermeier period. Traditional joinery methods ensure stability and authenticity. The piece remains in very good original condition for its age, with visible patina, minor scratches, and localized discoloration typical of 19th-century objects, but no major damage or repairs. The form of this stand speaks to everyday life in the latter half of the 19th century—a time when order and a sense of beauty were valued even in the simplest routines. The walnut wood, mellowed to a soft golden patina over time, recalls the tradition of lingering breakfasts and domestic rituals. The restrained elegance of Biedermeier is evident in the gentle curvature of the legs, subtle detailing, and absence of excess ornamentation—suggesting a quiet respect for function and the disciplined craftsmanship of the era. This egg stand could be displayed on a kitchen sideboard or dining table alongside period porcelain, glass domes, or linen napkins. In a contemporary setting, it would serve as an original accent on a kitchen island, providing a historical counterpoint to sleek surfaces and minimalist silhouettes. Pairing it with other antique or rustic accessories, such as brass vessels or handwoven textiles, would further enhance its authenticity
