Description: The St. George’s (Grand Throne Room) Hall is located in the Winter Palace, St.Petersburg, Russia.
It was created in 1787-1795 according to the project of Giacomo Quarenghi and consecrated on November 23, 1795, the Day of St.George.
The initial interior design was lost in the fire of 1837, but was restored by architect Vasily Stasov at the beginning of the 1840s.
This, perhaps, is the most ceremonial hall of the Hermitage. It hosted official ceremonies and receptions.
Carrara marble and gilded bronze were used in the interior design. The halls’ parquet is made of 16 types of wood. The large Imperial throne was made on the commission of Anna Ioannovna in London. Above it, the bas-relief 'St. George killing the dragon' is placed.
