Wash stand: the prismatic stand is supported by four bun feet and has two doors. Set-in oval panels decorate the doors. Its pilaster and middle lath end in roses. The folding top of the wash stand is decorated with two lying oval panels.

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.
