Description:
- This album contains presentation drawings and transfer lithographs of lustres and furniture designs for the Mikhailovsky Palace in Leningrad. The first 18 transfer lithographs and drawings are for lustres with varying numbers of candles (one per page). The room location for many of the lustres is inscribed in graphite at the bottom of the sheet. Two rectangular flaps attached to the t. and l.r. of page DR1990:0063:005 can be raised to reveal alternate gouache and wash designs. Page DR1990:0063:011 also has an alternate design in watercolour or gouache where a flap was previously attached. Drawings DR1990:063:020 - DR1990:0063:046 have several designs for furniture per sheet. The numbers in graphite on many of the furniture and lustre drawings probably refers to the room where they were to be located. On three sheets of furniture designs the ornament is rendered in yellow watercolour, probably indicating a proposed construction in bronze, gilded bronze, or carved and gilt wood in imitation of bronze (DR1990:063:020 - DR1990:0063:021, and DR1990:0063:046). There are no other indications of the materials for the furniture. All of the drawings for lustres and furniture show the forms, decoration, and iconography typical of Empire and Restoration style design.
