Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

German edition
Since the 16th century, Dresden's Royal Palace has been a venue for glittering balls, masquerades, and rituals of political power. In the restored banquet halls, the R--stkammer (Armoury) presents works of art belonging to the most precious relics of European festive culture. In the Gro--er Ballsaal (Great Ballroom), the sun mask of Augustus the Strong, silver armour, imaginative insignia, horses with sumptuous riding equipment, and a sleigh decorated with hundreds of bells are reminders of magnificent festive celebrations. Symbols of power take centre stage in the Propositionssaal (Proposition Hall): Insignia ranging from the electoral hat and coronation mantle to medals and busts of Saxon monarchs are on display in the place where Saxony's first constitution was proclaimed in 1831. The collection, which has undergone extensive restoration in recent years, is being presented for the first time in this dedicated publication.
- Internationally unique testimony to festive culture and the representation of power from the 16th to the 19th century
- Permanent exhibition in the Armoury of Dresden's Royal Palace, starting in March 2026: ""Masks and Crowns - Festive Culture and Representation of Power""
Deutsche Ausgabe
Das Dresdner Residenzschloss ist seit dem 16. Jahrhundert ein Ort glanzvoller B--lle, Maskeraden und Rituale politischer Macht. In den wiedererstandenen Fests--len pr--sentiert die R--stkammer Kunstwerke, die zu den kostbarsten Zeugnissen europ--ischer Festkultur geh--ren. Im Gro--en Ballsaal erinnern die Sonnenmaske Augusts des Starken, Silberharnische, fantasievolle Inventionsinsignien sowie Pferde mit pr--chtigen Reitzeugen und einem mit hunderten Schellen besetzten Schlittenzeug an grandiose Festinszenierungen. Im Propositionssaal stehen die Zeichen der Macht im Zentrum: Wo 1831 die erste Verfassung Sachsens ausgerufen wurde, werden Insignien vom Kurf--rstenhut --ber den Kr--nungsmantel bis zu Orden und B--sten der s--chsischen Monarchen gezeigt. Die in den letzten Jahren aufwendig restaurierten Best--nde werden nun erstmals in einer eigenen Publikation vorgestellt.
- Weltweit einzigartige Zeugnisse der Festkultur und Machtrepr--sentation des 16. bis 19. Jahrhunderts
- Dauerausstellung der R--stkammer im Nordfl--gel des Dresdner Residenzschlosses, ab M--rz 2026 ""Masken und Kronen - Festkultur und Repr--sentation der Macht""
