Description

Vladimir Palace, St. Petersburg, Russia, Interior

The Vladimir Palace was the last imperial palace to be constructed in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was designed by a team of architects for Alexander II's son, Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia. Construction work lasted from 1867 to 1872.

The façade, richly ornamented with stucco rustication, was patterned after Leon Battista Alberti's palazzi in Florence.

The palace and its outbuildings contain some 360 rooms, all decorated in disparate historic styles: Neo-Renaissance (reception room, parlor), Gothic Revival (dining room), Russian Revival (Oak Hall), Rococo (White Hall), Byzantine style (study), Louis XIV, various oriental styles, and so on.

After the October Revolution, the palace became the home of the 'Academics' House' and as a consequence its interior has been preserved to a greater extent than other Romanov family residences. Also preserved has been much of Vladimir's collection of late 19th-century porcelain, most of it manufactured in the Imperial Porcelain Factory.
