This room is the first in the Great Suite of State Rooms
in the Winter Palace. Vasily Stasov restored the interior after the
1837 fire adhering closely to the original design of 1833-34 by Auguste
Montferrand. The entrances to the room are accentuated by portals.
The decoration of the ormolu chandeliers and the grisaille
painting incorporates military trophies and laurel wreathes. Placed
on the walls between the pilasters are portraits of Russian filed
marshals. Hence the name of the room. On display here are works of
Western European and Russian sculpture as well as products of the
Imperial Porcelain Factory from the first half of the 19th century.
