“White” stoves in the palatial interior. The case of Ostankino
https://doi.org/10.28995/2073-6401-2018-4-61-70
Abstract
The article is focused on the white-tiled stoves which are included in the heating system of the unique wooden palace in Ostankino (1791–1798). These stoves are characterised by the decorative features which show the patron’s choice of the classical style for one of the most important elements of the palace’s interior. The analysis of analogues reveals that a place for manufacturing the Ostankino stoves could be the Konradi factory in St. Petersburg. This conclusion is strengthened not only by the similarity of the Ostankino stoves and those of St. Petersburg palaces but also by the same circle of customers , mostly from the upper class of society. The article demonstrates a well-known mechanism of copying the prestigious (fi of all, the royal) decorations in interiors.
