The exhibition catalogue Biedermeier. Arte e cultura nella Mitteleuropa (1815-1848) offers a comprehensive overview of the art and cultural production of the Central European Biedermeier period. The volume documents developments in Austria, Bohemia and neighbouring regions and presents furniture, arts and crafts objects, paintings, drawings, clothing and various furnishings.

With numerous illustrations and art-historically informed contributions, the catalogue provides a precise picture of the innovations in craftsmanship, the characteristic veneering techniques and the aesthetic guidelines that characterise the Biedermeier style. The work is an important reference for collectors, restorers, art historians and museums who are interested in the history of furniture and bourgeois living culture of the early 19th century.
