Thank you for your patience...

The history of German antique furniture is very complex involving the different styles of all the independent city states. German antique furniture tends to be very sturdy, made with the best woods from German forests. It was so well made that a good deal of the earliest pieces still survive today.
|
Antique German furniture follows its own time frame. The basic styles of each period are similar to other countries, but the features are distinctively German.
Renaissance Period -- 1603-1649
Renaissance Baroque Period -- 1649-1694
Baroque Period -- 1694 - 1714
Rococo Period -- 1714-1727
Neo-classical Period -- 1727 - 1780
Biedermeier Period -- 1780 - 1830
Renaissance Revival Period -- 1830 - 1900

Identification
Germany as we know it today did not come into existence until 1871. Before then, there were independent regions, and each one had its own distinct style. You can tell where each piece came from because the craftsmen would put the seal of their city on the piece.

GERMAN BURLED WALNUT & OAK CARVED BOOKCASE
|
THIS NICE WALNUT GERMAN BOOKCASE COMES APART FOR SHIPPING. ADJUSTABLE SHELVES.
|
This bookcase with 3 glass walnut doors is from 1850's. Purchased in Berlin, Germany and moved to the U.S. in the 1950's. It is an unusual cabinet/bookcase in a classical design. The cabinet has carved black walnut and burled walnut doors in the front of the bookcase. Across the top is a carved crown and on the top corners of the doors is an applied carving (see photos). The front doors has a flat very heavy glass panel. The craftmanship of this cabinet/bookcase is exceptional. All of the locks on the cabinet/bookcase doors are not working (see photos). The cabinet has 8 oak shelves with nice edges. The left side measure 27" and the right side measure 49" (see photos). All shelves measure 12 1/2" deep. As you can see in the close up photos the color & grain of the walnut is really quite exceptional. This is a massive bookcase measuring 93" wide x 75 1/4" High x 16" deep and weighs several hundred pounds.
It Is Very Reasonably Priced at $10,500.00

Germany today
Is the third largest manufacturer of furniture in the world and German contemporary designs, particularly in upholstered furniture, dominate some markets. Much of the impetus for the modern German furniture industry can be traced back to the early 20th century Bauhaus furniture movement.

To all Visitors
This site has been developed not just to sell Antiques and Collectibles (of course it does some of that) rather it is to provide information about Antiques, Collectibles, artwork, art pottery, furniture types, furniture styles, jewelry, and militaria from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War. This site is all about information and history that is not readily available elsewhere on the Internet. We think West St Paul Antiques is one of the best Antique Malls in the State of Minnesota and we have been working hard to create that excellence for the last 12 years. We have expertise on Antiques & Collectibles and as we read and study about history and antiques we also strive to be historians. We will share that expertise with you and all the visitors to our site. Stop by and visit our Antique Mall in West St Paul, Minnesota. Or, you are all welcome to visit us on the web.
This is a new website for us at West St Paul Antiques. We hope you enjoy the site.

Stop by one of the 1st Recon Battalion pages where you can read about my experiences in Vietnam. Oh, by the way, also check out all our Antiques, Collectibles, artwork, art pottery, clocks, mall specials, furniture types and styles, jewelry and militaria items for sale on this site and in our Antique Mall. Check it out by going to Antique Mall Tour. This site will be totally commercial free with no fees to pay. I'll be working on this site over time so bear with me.
