I am currently painting a rather smallish painting which is set in a room in the 1840ies in Copenhagen, Sören Kierkegaard's room. I hope it doesn't matter that it is a painting and not something written.
I hope that helps, it' s either in (pictures are huge) this house, or maybe this one.
I want to know about the
-floor (maybe some dark parquet?)
-wall covering/ pannelling
-lighting.
I know about the furtniture, only (caution, huge again :) ) this desk and this cupboard and another small table will be viewable.
I' ve looked through the communities tags and tried LJ search but didn't find anything. I googled, of course, things like "biedermeier rooms", "19th century floor", "19th century room"-- you get the idea. I also flipped through some history books, but couldn't really find anything.. Pictures would be appreciated but are not necessary, just anything you know, I would be so grateful. Everything you know doesn't exactly have to be about the 40ies, everything around that time anywhere in northern Europe is fine because I found nothing and am worried that I will make huge mistakes, haha.
Thanks in advance :D
