-
Photograph of the St Andrew Hall in the Grand Kremlin Palace. The large room has a vaulted ceiling supported by ornately decorated columns. Between each column there is a chandelier. At the far end of the room is the Imperial throne. Above it there is a motif of an all-powerful eye, surrounded by gold rays. The Kremlin is a fortified complex of palaces and cathedrals in Moscow. The Grand Kremlin Palace is the largest building in the Kremlin and was built between 1837 and 1849. It has five reception rooms named after the Orders of the Russian Empire, including this hall named for St Andrew.
Provenance
Probably presented to the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, and the Princess of Wales, later Queen Alexandra, following their visit to Russia for the wedding celebrations of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna in 1874
