Gold Cabinet (Vienna)

Austria / Wien / Vienna / Rennweg
 Baroque (architecture), interior designer

Originally, the Marble Gallery was adjoined by a salle de conversation, its walls covered with silk painted with branches and birds. Under Maria Theresa, this room was redesigned into a gold cabinet (or mirror and porcelain cabinet) as part of the adaptation of the Lower Belvedere. Some of its decoration was taken from Prince Eugene’s city palace on Himmelpfortgasse with additions being made for the Lower Belvedere as required. One can assume that this redesigned Gold Cabinet had been completed by 1765.
