Fragile beauty of the Hermitage. On the basis of eight gorgeous sets from the St. Petersburg Hermitage visitors can experience the dinners and banquets of the tsars. They imagine themselves guests in possession of an imperial invitation, ascend the stairs of the Winter Palace, learn the rules of etiquette, preparing for the festive visit. Then they make. Their entrance into the great hall for dinner
The majestic sets, on tables with decorated table pieces, show the mesmerizing grandeur of the banquets that were the tsars. The biggest show off sets are those of Catherine the Great, as the Crockery with the Green Frog (Wedgwood) and the Dinner service with Cameos (Sevres, Paris). But the sets of later Tsars are impressive. Extra cachet they still get because they are inextricably linked to the history of Europe.
