   You might stop in to visit Tools for Working Wood in NYC:

   27 West 20th Street Suite 507
   New York, NY 10011
   m-f 10:30 - 6:00 EST

   There is also a woodworking museum there. Although I have not met him in person, the owner is very friendly when contacted. He should be able to direct you properly.

   Here is a link to an antiques dealer that specializes in Biedermeier. He has two New York locations. There is also an excellent book on Biedermeier available through the site. A walk on Madison Avenue is a must for those interested in decorative arts.

   Hi enri and welcome to Knots. I can't help with your question, but I'll suggest that you edit the title of your post because it says "Biesermeier" instead of "biedermeier". Biesemeyer is the manufacturer of the most copied table saw fence on the market and may confuse some people who can help get the information you're looking for.

   Good luck!

   Scott

   Sadly, there's no way for us users to edit post titles.  The only way to get it done is to send a request to

   Enrico,
   grazie per il sito in italiano. E' molto interessante per me. Voglio imparare la tua lingua. I miei nonni erano italiani. (Piemontesi e Baresi). Ricordo la suona della lingua. Ho dei parenti in Italia, e uso email per correspondere con i miei parenti italiani. Faccio molti errori, ma non e' importante.Molto lieto da fare la tua conoscenza.
