On the dressing table next to the window is an oriental rosewood cabinet, used for storing sewing accessories, from which this space derives its name ‘work room’. On the other side of the window is a splendid Biedermeier secrétaire made of birch-root, featuring a wealth of sections, drawers and secret compartments inside the flap.
In the corner, an 18th-century painted wooden cupboard conceals a small corner-toilet with washbasin. The Biedermeier settee with striped upholstery faces a folding card table from the 18th century and is flanked by two small, finely inlaid moulded chests of drawers. Displayed on top are some family photographs depicting Guglielmo, Nicoletta and Francesco Coronini Cronberg and their parents Carlo and Olga; there is also an autographed picture, dated 1894, of the last tsar, Nicholas II.
Some interesting paintings are displayed on the wall: a Portrait of Maria Theresa Cobenzl Palffy by the Belgian painter Bernard Charles Verschoot (1730- 1783), a Venus and Cupid, a rare mythological subject by the well-known Gorizian portrait painter Giuseppe Tominz (1790-1866), two Views of the Bay of Naples with the Royal Procession to Piedigrotta by Antonio Joli (1700-1777).
The opposite wall is dominated by a beautiful chest of drawers with a flap from the first half of the 18th century on which rest a pair of bronze three-flame candlesticks with a red marble base from the early 19th century and a small porcelain bust depicting General Radetsky.
Above, within a richly carved and gilded frame, is a Portrait of Emperor Joseph II. Completing the furnishings of the room is a beautiful majolica stove surmounted by a double-headed eagle and an 18th-century chest of drawers with flap and riser, next to which hangs a pastel Portrait of Nicoletta Coronini Cronberg, painted by Eleonora Novelli of Bertinoro in 1922.
