Body
The Imperial and Royal court upholsterers Gelb Mór & Sons were recognised by Hauszmann as a professional authority. The professionals of the period were not only connected by their careers and achievements, but also friendship. There was nothing extraordinary about Endre Thék himself being the godfather to a member of the Gelb family. When constructing St. Stephen’s Hall, Gelb Mór & Sons was ordered to supply the curtains and the upholstery fabric, upholster the furniture and hang the Haas tapestry. The French partners of the company were also considered during the selection process; they provided the missing materials and the skilled experts needed to do the gold embroidery.
