metadata.value: Picture frames still remain on the periphery for Russian specialists. As a result, the vast majority
  of these works of decorative art in museum collections remain unexplored, and paintings
  are often exhibited in random frames that curators have chosen to their taste. Experts also
  overlook the important fact that studying the history of frames can significantly expand the
  idea of interiors of past centuries in which they were an important part of the decoration. Of
  undoubted interest are the frames from the former imperial collections. A significant portion
  of these frames adorned the interiors of the Winter Palace and the Hermitage. Many picture
  frames were made by Russian carvers commissioned by the Imperial Court. In particular,
  these include frames for the gallery of portraits of the “Highest Persons of the Romanov Family,”
  an idea which obviously originated from Nicholas I. The emperor’s plan was large-scale:
  to present in the gallery portraits of all the ruling Romanovs together with their spouses and
  children. Work on the creation of the Romanov Gallery began in late 1844. In December the
  head of the 2nd department of the Hermitage, F. I. Labensky received orders to deliver to the
  Minister of the Imperial Court, Prince P. M. Volkonsky, “a register of all the family portraits of
  the Highest Persons located in the Hermitage and in all the Imperial Palaces.” The design for
  frames was created almost simultaneously. Its author, unfortunately, is unknown. In March
  1845, in a business correspondence between Prince Volkonsky and Labensky, the creation of frames for the gallery was mentioned. 108 carved gilded frames for grand and small portraits
  of the gallery were made by master Alexander Rybakov. Today, many of these frames are in the
  collection of the Russian Museum and the Hermitage.
