Crafted with the hallmark grace and simplicity of the Biedermeier era (early 19th C), has a balance of form and function. Sturdy wooden frame. The upholstery neutral palette allows it to blend seamlessly with a variety of color schemes. The couch was purchased in Munich in an antique shop near Marienplatz. It had been fully restored-reupholstered at the time. It is very solid and stable. It brings a human touch and warmth to the room it is placed in though the curves and the careful handmade woodwork, such elements and skills distinguish it from mass products, making it quite exceptional. The very neatly done, gently striped upholstery is around 8 years old, and very durable and in good condition. The item can be picked up in Frankfurt am Main. Foam wrapping or blankets could be useful for packaging and 1 person can assist in moving the couch.
