The August Ungethüm furniture factory created a living room and a study for this exhibition. The latter was acquired by Baron Ottokar Trnka von Laberon on November 6, 1913, while the whereabouts of the living room remain unknown. In 2007, a desk and a display cabinet based on the same design were published. These were most likely further parts of the same living room. The quality of the joinery is excellent. As with the furniture from the study, the carvings are particularly noteworthy. Especially as an ensemble, these objects create a wonderful atmosphere. See less
