The birch furniture (armchairs and chairs), with painted wood surrounding the hearth, are of the time of Nicholas I. On the front table, covered with dolls, is of a Ukrainian wedding of the Prilukskom district of Rodtavskoy provinces during the moment of invitation. The dolls on the table are made by the Degterevskoi school – a weaver’s workshop of the Kiev zemstvo, and bought by the Heir at the 2nd All-Russia handicraft exhibition. {This refers to the 1913 Koustar Arts Exhibition under the Patronage of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. The dolls were presented as a gift to Alexei.  There is a color photograph of them by Prokhudin-Gorskii.}
