Tavolo centrale

ca. 1780–85
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 553
Questo tavolo è stato il primo pezzo di mobilio russo a entrare a far parte della collezione del Museo. Appartiene a un piccolo gruppo di oggetti decorati con inserti di argento, incisioni ornamentali e numerose applicazioni dorate, ed è l’unico esemplare noto fuori dalla Russia e il più bello dal punto di vista estetico. Questi oggetti eccezionali di solito servivano come doni diplomatici o facevano parte di una dote. Una ricerca recente indica che questo tavolo aveva una funzione puramente espositiva e fu eseguito per la famiglia imperiale russa; venne documentato come arredo della camera da letto dell’imperatrice Maria Feodorovna nel palazzo di Pavlovsk. Nel 1801 l’imperatrice lo donò al duca Pietro di Oldenburg, vedovo della sorella di lei.
