ROOM 14. Endurance, Compromise and Economic Boom "The Repudiation of That Which is Illegal is No Mere Option, But Rather an Obligation" (Ferenc Deák) (Katalin Körmöczi - Edit Haider)

57. Prize medals awarded at exhibitions, 2nd half of the 19th century mink and embellished with frogging wo­ven from metal thread, the dolman made from silk, and the trousers machine-woven from silk thread were produced in 1896, as were the jewelled accessories for the gala dress: the belt, the mente clasp, the plume, the sword, the spurs, and the buttons. Of special interest is the mediaeval page's uniform from the Millennial Procession; this is embellished with the coat of arms of the Liptay family and with velvet appliqué work, and bordered with braiding (Fig. 55). In the royal reception-room there stood a purpose-built armchair made to a design by Ignác Alpár. The conquering an­cestors are recalled by a ceremonial shield, embellished with a depiction of the blood­pact and made for the Millennium.
