Mesa de centro

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

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 553

Essa mesa foi a primeira peça de mobiliário russo da coleção do Museu. Ela pertence a um pequeno grupo de objetos decorados com incrustações de prata, ornamentos de ouro e uma variedade de aplicações, e é o único exemplo conhecido fora da Rússia e um dos mais belos do ponto de vista estético. Esses objetos excepcionais eram geralmente presentes diplomáticos ou faziam parte de um dote. Pesquisas recentes indicam que esta mesa (criada apenas para fins ornamentais) foi feita para a família imperial russa. Aparece em um inventário do quarto da Imperatriz Maria Feodorovna, no palácio de Pavlovsk. Em 1801, a Imperatriz a presenteou ao duque Pedro de Oldenburg, viúvo de sua irmã.
