Biedermeier was an influential German style of furniture design that evolved from 1815–1848. Biedermeier was devoted to comfort and simplicity. Most often constructed along classical lines, it was usually made of light colored, woods like elm or fruit woods, but ash, walnut, maple, birch, beech, and even mahogany examples exist. Trim and accents were usually in contrasting black or gold paint.
