The Collection of Furniture and Applied Art

The oldest piece of furniture at Prague Castle is a Renaissance cabinet decorated with surface carving, dated in 1562. It forms a part of the furnishing of the Old Royal Palace and is situated in a room of the Now Land Rolls, where there are also other Renaissance and Early Baroque cabinets, tables, chairs and chests. Most of the valuable pieces of historic furniture are used for the furnishing of the reception rooms in the southern and central wings of the Castle. They comprise Baroque, Rococo and Neo-Classical, tarsia and upholstered furniture. A large number of pieces of office furniture in Biedermeier style (commodes, chests-of-drawers, tables and chairs) finds use in the official rooms. As part of the furniture manufactured after designs by the architect Josip Plecnik has been preserved in the apartment of President T.G.Masaryk.
