The Goldkabinett of Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen The Albertina Museum in Vienna is famous for its fine print collection and artworks on paper, notably those of Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt, but the former palace of Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen (1728-1822), the noble art collector for whom the Albertina is named, is also worth visiting for its grand state rooms, which have been recently restored. Most of these rooms are decorated in an elegant Neoclassical style dating from the 1820s but there are one or two spaces that still sport the late Baroque décor of Duke Albert's era. In particular this tiny chamber called the Goldkabinett "Gold Cabinet." Goldkabinett at the Albertina, Vienna I adore tiny jewel box rooms like this, and it seems to me that every Baroque palace or hôtel particulier just had to have one of these special, intimate, breathtaking little chambers. A perfect spot for a private discussion, collecting one's thoughts, or just basking alone in the glow of a room created solely for the sake of beauty. detail of the floral ornament painted onto the gilt paneling The Goldkabinett is mirrored on four walls including the doors; a marvelous effect for full gilt immersion; and features a some beautifully painted rose decorations along with a sweet little cloud ceiling mural and frieze panels with frolicking putti. The unusually rosy effulgence of this room is due to the special gold leaf used to gild it: an alloy consisting of 23-karat gold, 1/2-karat silver and 1/2-karat copper, and is still known today as "Albertina Gold." large mirrors on each wall reflect more of the gilt splendor More about the Albertina at Wikipedia Another Golden Room all images in this post by Lynne Rutter Vienna, 2012 click to view larger Lynne Rutter Murals + Decorative Painting
