This is the former Dressing-room of Empress Alexandra
Fiodorovna (architect Alexander Krasovsky, 1894-95). The display here
has been given the title "The Boudoir of the 1840s-1850s". The room
is furnished with a set of furniture from the Pink Drawing-Room (not
preserved) in the Winter Palace that was created to a design by Andrei
Stakenschneider in 1846-47. The rosewood furniture decorated with
porcelain plaques was produced by the Gambs Brothers' Company. Interiors
like this in which the furniture was freely arranged, forming cosy
"corners", created an atmosphere of light-hearted festiveness. |
