Bedroom

The original furniture from count Pálffy's time has not survived in the Bedroom. The curtains with Gothic tapestries that you saw in the Pentagonal Tower remain. The room is dominated by large beds from the second half of the 19th century with gilding and rich carvings in shallow relief in the form of shells, acanthus and volutes.

An idyllic scene depicting a shepherd with nymphs is painted on the picture opposite. To the left of the painting is a wall frame clock with oil painting on metal, made in Prague around 1850. It has a musical movement that plays Radecky's march by Johann Strauss the Elder. The marble statue of Venus on the console table is based on an original by the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova. Above the fireplace is an 18thcentury painting of St. Barbara. On the wall next to the fireplace is a mirror in a Rococo frame from the late 18th century. In the gilded display case, we are attracted by a figurine with a pair of ladies and a seated gentleman from the German porcelain factory in Volksted, a porcelain basket with painted and embossed flowers from Vienna and a painted and gilded jewellery box in the form of a fan made in the French porcelain factory Sévres.
