A work table 'Globus Nahtischen' Vienna circa 1835 mahogany ebonised banding bone and gilt-bronze mounted the globe shaped body with an ebonised equator enclosing a fitted interior on outward curved splayed legs surmounted by female terms and with claw endings joined by a galleried undertier on a concave sided tripartite base h. 95cm diam. 42cm Literature G. Himmelheber Biedermeier Mobel London 1973 ill. 13. M. Jourdain Regency Furniture London 1965 p. 71. H. Kreisel Die Kunst des Deutschen Mobels Munchen 1986 p. 95 and ill. IV. These globe-shaped worktables with interpenetrating hemi-spheres and fitted interior illustrate a very high degree of mastery and are extremely rare. Frederich Paulick executed a design for a similar table in Carl Schmidt's drawing school in Vienna circa 1825 which is illustrated in H. Ottomeyer Zopf- und Biedermeier Mobel. Katalog der Mobelsammlung des Munchner Stadtmuseums Munchen 1991 p. 17 ill. 8. Interestingly these treasures of the Austrian Biedermeier era derive from the patented 1806 designs for globe writing tables by the London cabinet-maker George Remington which were subsequently produced by the celebrated firm of Morgan & Sanders. Several examples are also illustrated by Prof. Rainer Haaf in Das Suddeutsche Biedermeier Hamburg 1991 p. 293 ill. 616-619.
