Yes, and in our open spaces there are things that we can and must be proud of.
Another thing is that we do not always know about it.
To my shame, I also did not suspect the existence of such a miracle as the Oak Study of Peter I in Peterhof. But, as often happens, while surfing the net I stumbled upon it by accident and was fascinated.
Unfortunately, it is quite easy to find a detailed description of the carving that adorns the office, and it is almost impossible to find not just good, but somewhat detailed pictures. Therefore, I post what I found and put together. If someone shares pictures or tells me where You can take them, I will gladly add them to the post.
The oak cabinet is the oldest interior of the palace; its decoration was carried out in the first quarter of the 18th century.
In the emperor's office, oak is the defining material for artistic decoration. Oak shields completely cover the walls, giving the interior an amazing warmth and comfort. In the era of Peter the Great, this material, which was available in abundance in the southern regions of Russia, was liked to be used in interior decoration. The rooms of the palaces of Monplaisir, Marley, and the Hermitage pavilion were decorated with oak in Peterhof. But the most surprising example of the use of this material is the Oak Cabinet of the High Chambers.
The walls of the office are covered from floor to ceiling with wooden shields, and if the panels at the bottom of the walls are smooth, then vertically elongated panels are placed above them, completely covered with unusually elegant carvings. The carving also covers doors, desudéportes, panels over mirrors and a fireplace. Such an interior solution made a strong impression. Berchholtz, who visited here in 1721, made the following entry in his Diary: “Especially remarkable is the study, where there is a small library of the tsar, consisting of various Dutch and Russian books; it is finished by a French sculptor and is distinguished by its excellent carvings. This "sculptor" was Nicolas Pinault, an outstanding master who arrived in Russia in August 1716. His art was highly regarded by his contemporaries. The unsurpassed decorator Pino himself drew sketches for his future works. An album kept in the State Hermitage testifies to his mastery. Among the many projects here are Pinot's drawings for the panels of the Oak Cabinet of the Grand Palace. Some of them were embodied in wooden carvings almost without changes, the composition of others was significantly modified in the process of work.
The office was arranged in the southern part of the palace "according to Leblon's drawing." It was he who suggested that Pino carve, for he believed that "since monotonous solid panels are boring for the eyes, they resort to decorating them with frames, paintings, pilasters ..."
At the end of 1718, the "free carvers" Fole, Rust, Faudre and Tacone set to work. N. Pino made the laying of the composition on oak shields, and the carvers had to “cut and clean” the panel. A year later, the first eight panels were completed, and in 1720 the remaining four were completed.
In addition, Fole carved ornamental decorations for the pilasters separating the panels and panels above the fireplace, and Rust made desudesports, mirror frames and carvings over them. Master Michel also participated in the work.
The Oak Cabinet, associated with the name of Peter I, has long been treated as one of the relics. Therefore, it was generally accepted that the interior of the cabinet had not undergone any changes since its creation. In fact, it turned out that things were different. In the middle of the 18th century, during the expansion of the palace according to the project of Rastrelli, a doorway was pierced in the eastern wall of the Oak Cabinet instead of a window. At the same time, the stove with a small side fireplace on the northern wall also disappears and a marble fireplace with a mirror in a carved frame is built instead. Following this, one of the doors symmetrically located on the northern wall, corresponding to the existing one, is being liquidated. These alterations make it necessary to supplement the number of panels with two more. At the same time, their location on the walls was violated. And now one can only guess about the intention of Leblon and Pinot.
The fact that under Peter III, Paul I, Nicholas I and later the room was used as a study and, in accordance with the tastes of the owners, regimental drums and banners of the regiments quartered in Peterhof were installed here, beautiful carvings were covered with paintings and portraits in magnificent gilded frames.
During the formation of the museum in the Oak Cabinet, an exposition was created that corresponded to the Peter the Great era.
In the first days of the Great Patriotic War, eight panels, door leaves, and desuports were evacuated. After the cabinet was restored, they took their place on the walls. Six lost panels were recreated by master restorers. Models were prepared for them by the sculptor N. Ode. In the pier between the windows of the southern wall, one can see the first panel cut anew. It was made by the carver B. Gershelman. The theme of the panel is different. In accordance with the fashion of that time, the images on the four panels symbolized the seasons. Two of them have survived. At the entrance to the office on the western wall there is a panel depicting a herm decorated with flowers and two winged dragons. Above them is a decorative cartouche depicting Aries, the sign of the zodiac representing April, and above them are a vase of flowers and a smiling woman's mask, also framed by flowers. These symbols corresponded to spring. The panel, located in the southwestern corner, is similarly decorated. But here, ears of corn are woven into garlands of flowers, and a Lion is depicted in the cartouche - a sign of the summer month of July. Two surviving panels had a similar solution. This can be concluded from N. Pino's drawings for all four panels available in the Hermitage album.
Two panels, originally located, most likely, on the southern wall in the pier between the windows, and now placed in the southwestern and southeastern corners, were supposed to glorify Peter I and his wife in a symbolic form. Sketches for these panels are preserved in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris. When translating these sketches into wood, N. Pino made some changes. On one panel, surrounded by a globe, navigational and astronomical instruments, a man in antique clothes is depicted. His head is decorated with a laurel wreath - a symbol of glory. Below, against the background of a trumpet and a lyre, is a scroll with the inscription: “La Vertus Supreme du Pierre Premier Empereur De La Grande Russie” (The Highest Virtue of Peter I, Emperor of Great Russia).
On the panel in the southeast corner of the room, Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, is depicted in the central medallion. The field of the panel is decorated with symbols of sculpture, painting, architecture, music and trade.
Two panels on the southern and one on the eastern wall are filled with symbols of military and naval power: swords, helmets, shields, battle axes, Neptune's tridents, etc. Before the war, a similar panel was preserved on the northern wall.
Two panels to the right of the fireplace have a completely different content. Various wind, string and percussion instruments seem to be suspended on ribbons with tassels. There are bagpipes, violins, castanets, triangles, etc. Recordings of melodies from the beginning of the 18th century are reproduced on open music books.
In general, the diverse and magnificent carving of the Oak Cabinet was a unique ensemble in a symbolic form characteristic of that time, glorifying the flourishing of science, culture, trade and military power of new Russia and its reformer Peter I.
Things connected with the founder of Peterhof have long been preserved in the office.
Now on the bureau between the windows there is his camping alarm clock, made by the Augsburg master Johannes Benner. Such watches, enclosed in a leather case with glass, were taken on the road. Such watches often had only one hour hand.
Against the western wall on a table is an Italian-made study of the late 17th century, made of ebony and bronze with inlays of lapis lazuli, jasper and various marbles.
Chairs and armchairs from the first third of the 18th century with wicker seats have been in this room for a long time.
Peter's office
All great people - both politicians and creative personalities - are, first of all, people, with their own characteristics of character and temperament. What best characterizes a person? The office, because in it a person spends most of his life. And having become acquainted with a person’s workplace, you can often understand him much better than if you just come to visit him at home. Let's see if there is so much great and significant in the offices of real giants of political thought, literature, music...
First in everything
Peter the Great will forever remain the main reformer in the history of the Russian state. In terms of the scale of transformations, he far surpassed all the monarchs and politicians who have ever ruled our country. And as often happens, in everyday life this truly grandiose person was quite simple and unpretentious. Pay attention to the furnishings of his oak office - this is a purely functional room, of course, not devoid of comfort and attractiveness, but at the same time there is nothing superfluous here: the whole environment is designed exclusively for work.
In the footsteps of the emperor
Empress Catherine II is often called a worthy successor to Peter I, despite the fact that six more monarchs managed to reign between the periods of their reigns. No wonder they called her the same as Peter Alekseevich, the Great. The time of her reign is considered the era of Enlightenment in Russia. But she was not an ascetic, unlike Peter I, and she loved to surround herself with luxury. This can be seen from the famous glass-beaded study of the Empress.
To call this magnificent room a study is not the language. Is it possible to work here? Only command and rule! But for some, that's what it's all about.)
This is a unique office, which has no analogues in the whole world. Nine gold embroiderers embroidered drawings of Italian masters of painting with glass beads on silk for two years. It is known that at the same time two million (!) glass beads were spent, which was made at a mosaic factory specially erected in the vicinity of the city of Oranienbaum under the vigilant leadership of Mikhail Lomonosov. Not so long ago, these masterpieces were completely restored and are open to visitors.
"Bugle Cabinet" got its name from the wall panels, which are made of silk and glass beads. This cabinet is considered a masterpiece of world art of palace interiors.
Collectors all over the world are ready to spend a lot of time, effort and money to become the owner of chairs made in the Baroque style beloved by the Empress. If you think about it, it’s just an “office chair”, however, here is a special office here - the Imperial Palace!
Not the Emperor, but the leader!
The first ruler of Soviet Russia, Vladimir Lenin, was as modest in terms of room furnishings as Peter the Great. His study of Lenin in Gorki looks rather modest: a massive oak desk, a wooden chair, a lamp and writing instruments - this was enough for the leader of the world proletariat to work.
The table stands facing the window, which offers a panorama of the park. The leader loved nature, and according to the recollections of eyewitnesses, he looked at the view outside the window for a long time.
Pay attention to the location of chairs for visitors - on both sides of the table. Unlike our time, these chairs are more solid and comfortable than the “leader's chair” standing right there and are conducive to solid “gatherings”.
The house had not only a telephone line, but also its own switchboard, at which a Red Army soldier sat and connected the callers with the residents.
But the owner of the office himself spoke on this apparatus.
Of great interest is the library of Vladimir Ilyich, which has more than forty thousand books. The thematic diversity of such a collection is huge, and it contains very rare copies of books that exist in the world in just a few pieces.
These racks were made to order. Lenin was very fond of reading and always treated books with care.
Both Doctor and Writer
Let's move on from politicians to people of art. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov said: "Everything in a person should be beautiful: the face, and clothes, and the soul, and thoughts." In the context of our post, you can add - "and the office." What was the office of the great Russian playwright like? To date, several rooms have been preserved where Chekhov worked, we will consider two of them:
this office is located in the house-museum on Sadovo-Kudrinskaya street in Moscow,
and Anton Pavlovich worked in this office when he lived in Melikhovo, near Moscow, now there is a museum-reserve of the writer.
Both cabinets are characterized by austerity, but at the same time there is comfort and spaciousness. This is a typical dwelling of a representative of the Russian intelligentsia of that era. The style of the cabinet is concise, minimalism dominates everything. Only photographs and small engravings convey the creative nature of the owner. Feature - in each of the offices, in addition to a place to work, there is a clearly defined place for relaxation.
In addition to writing, Chekhov had another profession - he was a doctor. Evidence of this is the office of medical practice, which has been preserved in Melikhovo.
Piano in the center!
This piano is in the bushes only for untalented graphomaniacs, and for great composers this instrument was the center of the office environment. So was Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the main object in whose office is a black piano.
It was with this instrument that the great composer wrote his famous musical works.
The design of the office as a whole is eclectic. There are also objects created in the classical style (the same piano) and Viennese chairs; there is a Persian carpet on the floor, and romantic curtains on the windows; baroque vases, a minimalist secretary - a strict stylist can easily lose his head here!
None of us knows how it will be presented to its descendants, but one thing is certain - the office in which you work today is your calling card, and according to it, those who will explore your life will probably judge you in the future.
Therefore, be honest with yourself when choosing furniture for yourself!

GENRE - historical fiction quest
You have been selected for a special mission - to go back in time and restore the course of history by returning documents to Peter the Great on building ships to attack Azov. As you know, Voronezh is the cradle of the Russian fleet. It was here that Peter the Great came up with the idea that it would be nice to build ships to attack the fortress of Azov. Unfortunately, at the moment, blueprints for powerful ships have been stolen from him. You will need to return them.
From the very beginning, you need to find a time machine, start it and go to the past. In Peter's office, you need to find his mail, open the envelope of the tsar's governor - Alexei Shein, put the drawings there and secure the envelope with a special seal. You can’t just put the drawings on the table with Peter - this will cause unnecessary questions and suspicions, and the drawings can be burned.
After you do this, the time portal will reopen and you will be able to leave unhindered. Remember that you only have an hour for everything, because the time machine is very unstable.
