The Princess Lubomirska’s Anteroom and Parlour
The furnishings and decoration are maintained in the style of 18th-century interiors. Here, visitors can admire upholstered furniture with decorations depicting vases with flowers from the French manufactory Abusson, English secretary desks from the early 18th century, English mirrors, and vases decorated with flowers from the Meissen porcelain manufactory.
The Princess Lubomirska’s Golden Bedroom
The name of the room comes from the characteristic furniture, the Princess Marshal's bed and a set of armchairs. In this room, visitors can see Meissen porcelain chocolate drinking utensils, a pot for storing tea, and biscuit porcelain figurines.
The Princess Lubomirska’s Bathroom
In the 18th century, the bathroom was a kind of salon, which, in addition to bathing, was also used for meetings, games, and relaxation. Visitors' eyes are immediately caught by the bath set on six lion paws located in a decorative niche, as well as a chaise longue with a canopy with ostrich feathers, evidence of the recreational function of the room.
The Portraits of Princess Marshal Lubomirska
The pastel images located in the White Bedroom depict the Princess Marshal at different ages, as a
several-year-old girl, as a young lady, and as a mature woman.
The Kändler Vases
A set of five vases made of Meissen porcelain amazes viewers with its intricacy and craftsmanship. The vases are decorated with raised flowers and fruits and openwork grilles. Such dishes were placed in representative interiors on the cornices of fireplaces or tables. Their creator is most likely the famous sculptor and designer Johann Joachim Kändler.
The Optical Zograscope
At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, this was an extremely popular optical instrument. Thanks to the placement of the lens and mirror, the observed drawing gives a spatial, three-dimensional impression. Specially prepared illustrations usually depicted famous buildings, gardens or squares. The device reminds viewers of the era of the Grand Tour – grand educational trips around Europe, from which souvenir engravings were imported.
The Bath
A green marbled bathtub stands on six gilded lion paws. Made of tin, the interior is enclosed in a gold-plated copper frame with lace. Above the bathtub hangs a carved lion's head, from which water flowed. The bathtub testified to the worldly tastes of the owner and her love of luxury.
