The Palace

Guglielmo’s Room

The walls were once entirely covered with some Genoese mezzari, i.e. large cotton cloths printed with floral and animal motifs in an oriental style, which were removed a few years ago for conservation purposes. At the moment, only the one on the back wall has been returned, following restoration work. 

The 19th-century boat bed is flanked by an inlaid bedside table of more recent origin, characterised by the presence of a curious side drawer, on which rests a silk lampshade and a silver-plated brass censer-boat. 

Above the late 18th-century trumeau-bureau, panelled in poplar root, is a striking view of the Palazzo Coronini Cronberg by the Viennese painter Alois Hans Schram, dated 1898. 

On the opposite side, around a second small table are two tub armchairs, a late 19th-century reinterpretation of Biedermeier stylistic features, and a beautiful Albertine-style chair made of flamed ash, dating from around 1830. Finally, there are some particularly curious pieces of furniture such as the five-flame wooden chandelier representing a fantastic horse with its hind legs turning into snake coils and the two wall sconces in the shape of a hand.
