This bedroom suite was the dowry of Katharina Stamer, the great-grandmother of the ethnologist Mrs. J. Dajaszászy nee Vilma Dietz. The suite of a Saxon middle-class family from Temesvár is a typical example for the furnishing taste of the period and at the same time a forerunner of a type that became popular and widely used in the twentieth century.
