Merseburg Mirror Cabinet

Merseburg Mirror Cabinet

An interesting display, once again almost hidden in the passage leading to the cafe on the upper floor, is the Mirror Cabinet from Merseburg (room 233). This rare late Baroque Rococo era room cabinet was commissioned by the Duke of Saxe-Merseburg in 1712-15. The mirror cabinet uses an impressive interplay of gilded carvings and mirrors to display the porcelain and treasures of the ducal family.

In the Bode Museum in Berlin, Germany.
