„Allgemeine Illustrierte Zeitung“, 1886:

In the other state rooms no feeling of comfort can arise; one does not have the impression that they are lived in. … The study is different. This is the real home of the Crown Prince … All the hundred little details that make even the most stately room homely, speak of a refined sense of beauty. … Oriental rugs form the most important and finest part of the décor as a whole. … In the left-hand corner of the room is a gallery with a balustrade and benches over which are spread Persian rugs. The tent-like ceiling drapes are held together by the talons of a colossal eagle. Two large cushions mounted as donkey-panniers form the back of the divan. In front of the divan stands an Arabian smoking table with a large, solid silver top displaying intricate engraving, and arranged around the table are several Turkish tabourets with intarsia work in silver, ivory and mother-of-pearl. … On the wall between the two windows stands an oriental cabinet with all kinds of smoking apparatus.
