The Suite of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie in Ilidža
Ivan Mirnik
Sažetak
The author writes about the fashion of having at least one room furnished and decorated in the “Bosnian” style which became increasingly popular in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878. He then concentrates on the decoration of the suite of rooms prepared in June 1914 for the distinguished visitors Archduke Franz Ferdinand d’Este, heir to the throne, and his consort Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, at the “Bosna” Hotel, situated in the favourite summer resort of Ilidža near Sarajevo. Eight photographs of this apartment were preserved in an album of photographs and postcards assembled by Dr Erich Alexander, then director of the grammar school in Sarajevo. The entire decoration was furnished by Elias Kabiljo, the best-known dealer of antiquities and carpets in Sarajevo, and his wife did the arrangement of the decorations. This suite was situated on the first floor of the hotel and included a spacious veranda, two bedrooms, one bigger sitting-room, one smaller sitting-room, and a private chapel. The couple spent the last three days of their lives in this hotel. Finally, the author discusses the twelve metres tall monument dedicated to the assassinated couple on the Miljacka embankment, designed by Eugen Bory and unveiled on 28 June 1917, three years after their death.
