Interior photograph – Parlor in the György Ráth Villa

The largest room on the ground floor was centrally located in the rear part of the house, facing the back garden. Until the museum opened, Mrs György Ráth used this room, whose décor was dominated by the color gold, as a parlor. The primary furniture for entertaining guests was the Italian suite (a sofa with six chairs), but the room had other seating as well. Despite the different stylistic features of the various furniture pieces from different eras, the overall effect was harmonious. A cachepot by the great early twentieth-century Hungarian enamellist Jakab Rappaport stood on the eighteenth-century oval table in the center of the room.
