The original decoration of this reception room has been lost and its walls are lined with fabric produced in Moscow at the only workshop in Russia that weaves decorative textiles on old-fashioned hand looms. The elaborately patterned damask used here reproduces an early 18th-century French fabric, as French silk with plant ornament is recorded as having been bought for the Menshikov Palace. |
