Mesa de centro

Manufacturer Imperial Armory, Tula (south of Moscow), Russia

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 553

La primera pieza de mobiliario ruso en la colección del Museo es esta mesa ornamental, que pertenece a un pequeño grupo de muebles decorados con incrustaciones de plata, grabados ornamentales y numerosas aplicaciones de oro ofrecidos como regalos diplomáticos o como parte de una dote. Es la más lograda de esas piezas en términos estéticos y la única que se encuentra fuera de Rusia. Investigaciones recientes revelan que fue realizada para la familia imperial rusa, ya que aparece en un inventario del dormitorio de la emperatriz María Fiódorovna en el palacio de Pávlovsk. En 1801, la emperatriz se la regaló al duque Pedro de Oldenburg, viudo de su difunta hermana.
