Adjacent to the Marble Dining Room you will find the Throne Hall of Emperor Paul I created in the place of the former study room of G. Orlov. The walls of the Hall are decorated with the tapestries "Asia" and "Africa" weaved in France in 1780s in the workshop of G. Nelson based on the design of Francois Desportes, and the "Ceres" tapestry showing the incredible floral wreaths against the pink background. The throne place is located between the windows and includes the throne with a canopy, the armchair, and the foot banquette. The throne was made from carved wood, gold-plated, upholstered with crimson velvet. The emperor's emblem was embroidered on the throne back with silver, gold and silk threads.
