The interiors of the splendid palaces are much less well known, and this beautiful book reveals them in all their glorious detail. The palaces that have survived intact are still furnished and decorated as they were left at the beginning of the Communist Revolution, with sumptuous fabrics, furniture, glassware, china and detailed marquetry, all adding up to some of the most stunning interiors in the world. Many of those that were destroyed during the siege of Leningrad are being carefully and painstakingly restored to their full splendour." "The Baroque grandeur of the Catherine Palace, the exquisite Chinese Palace - where Catherine the Great spent happy hours with her lover Grigory Orlov - and the tiny but perfect Yelagin Palace are but a few of the wonderful buildings that are featured within the book's pages."--Jacket.
