The Small Dining-room was decorated in 1894-95 to a
project by the architect Alexander Krasovsky. The dining-room belonged
to the apartments of Emperor Nicholas II's family. The
decor here was influenced by the Rococo style. Moulded frames with
rocaille motifs enclose tapestries woven at the St Petersburg
Tapestry Factory in the 18th century. On the mantelpiece is a plaque
recording the fact that on the night of 25th October 1917 ministers
of the Provisional Government were arrested in this room. The furnishings
here include objects of applied art from the 18th and 19th centuries:
an English chandelier, French clock and Russian glassware. |
