According to the contemporary inventory of objects in the György Ráth collection, a fireproof cabinet was also located in the study. Ráth had purchased it from one of the best-known antique dealers, Joseph Egger, at the end of the nineteenth century. He probably kept valuables and important documents in it. The small cabinet, dating to c. 1700, had several drawers decorated with standing human figures, griffins and floral ornaments in niches.
