White (White-columned) room
The perfect and proportional White Room is located in the centre of the enfilade on the first floor. It represents a uniquely preserved early nineteenth century St Petersburg palace interior. Not only have its pictorial and sculptural appointments survived, but so too has Rossi's original furniture and works of decorative-applied art. The White Room was regarded by contemporaries as such a perfect work of art that it was decided to present a model of it to the King of England.
