Abstract

The article deals with the Neoclassicist line in Russian interior design of the second third of the 19th century. Classicism that formed part of the polyphony of the revival décor in the historical vein, such as Gothic, rocaille, Moorish, Turkish, etc., was often viewed as a fading extension of the traditions of the preceding period. However, analysis of concrete projects and monuments has made it possible to show a different aspect. In the eclectic period the classicist line remained relevant, primarily in the décor of the main palace premises, and, moreover, cardinally transformed. The classicist style came to be recognized and realized as a historical style. In equal measure that was characteristic of the Empire style of the reign of Nicholas I with its emphatic imperial splendour and of the elegant Pompeian style.
