<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fidbald, post: 1103, member: 61&quot;]problem: everything that was classy (and posh) in Germany was under French influence at the time. the gentry spoke French, German was still looked upon as &quot;yokel-speak&quot; and English as barbarian and only learnt by few - mostly merchants -&nbsp; to understand those funny islanders and their offspring in those far-away colonies.</p><p>second problem: Biedermeier was not a uniform style and took influences from everything around.&nbsp; is an item plain Bidermeier or Vormärz or Historismus or are certain details already Jugendstil ? very hard to find out on individual pieces, and heated discussions between experts guaranteed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
