<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fidbald, post: 902, member: 61&quot;]JMHO.</p><p>the term Biedermeier in furniture should not be restricted to 1815 - 1848, this was a political statement after the restoration. Biedermeier is an artificial term built of&nbsp; &quot;respectable/honest/ humble&quot; and the family name Meier (so perhaps something like Boringsmith in English). it was widely made up till the 1890s because 1848 didn&#039;t see a revolution like the French one but many smaller revolutions that led to a bourgeoisie comparable to today&#039;s middle classes&nbsp; that were housed in flats with lower ceilings than the really well-to-do; reason why these pieces can easily be used till today.</p><p>on the continent the market is low at the moment and I frankly don&#039;t see 3000 $ for one chair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
