Note du spécialiste

A set of nearly identical chairs were placed in the Marble Hall (also known as the Billiard Hall) and in the Salle de Portraits of Tsar Nicolas I at the Alexander Palace. At least one chair presently rests at Pavlovsk Palace (see A. Chenevière, Russian Furniture: The Golden Age 1780-1840, London, 1988, p. 199, no. 207).
