In 1929, thirteen years after the death of Count Francis Lützow (1846-1916), an Austrian diplomat, historian, translator, and unofficial Czech ambassador to the Anglo-Saxon world, his wife Anna Countess Lützow donated her husband’s study at Žampach, including furnishings and the entire equipment, to the City of Prague. Three years later, based on Countess Lützow’s will, a collection of antiques from other rooms of Žampach Castle also became the property of Prague. In the early 1950s, both large sets were placed in the depositories of the Museum of the City of Prague, where they remained for decades outside the focus of professional interest. This was due to their incompatibility with the collection programme of the city museum and the gradual loss of information about these sets. Research in recent years has shed light on the circumstances surrounding the acquisition of both sets and identified their components, in particular the furnishings of the study room, as left by Count Lützow at Žampach during his last trip abroad to Switzerland in 1915.
