Danube monarchy, some pieces after designs by Josef Danhauser, ca. 1830 - 40.

This set of furniture is thought to originate from the estate of the Habsburg family and have been purchased for the Castello di Miramare. The castle was built in 1856 for Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria, the brother of Emperor Franz Joseph. It is located on the coast near Triest and was designed in the style of a late medieval Italian villa with whitewashed walls and numerous turrets. After the death of the Archduke in 1867 the palace was used by the Habsburgs as a summer residence and is now a museum.

Provenance

According to tradition, the pieces formerly belonged to the Habsburg family and were probably kept in the Castello di Miramare
