23. Study of Tutor P. GilliardThe walls are painted in white mastic oil. The ceiling is framed with cornice molding. The floor has a Bobrikov green carpet. The English chintz curtain is the same as in the tutor’s bedroom. The room is illuminated with a ceiling light fixture.
The furniture is in the Empire style with the exception of two pieces.
In the cabinet, walls and chest of drawers are photographs and engravings depicting members of the dynasty and foreign relations previously located in the room of the Lady-in-Waiting S. Buxhoeveden. Also in the cabinet are several books by Western European authors (some of which are of the French Revolution) that belonged to S. Buxhoeveden. On the side wall at the entrance to the bathroom hangs a timetable for November 1st, 1916 of the suburban train schedules to Petrograd – Pavlovsk – Vyritsa; on the other wall is a map of the southern theatre of the Great War.

24. Bedroom of Tutor P. GilliardThe walls of both this room, the adjacent corridor, the on-duty doctor, and sailor Nagorny are covered with light frosted wallpaper. The partition that separates the corridor is of a random nature and therefore only three sides of the room has cornice molding.
There is a small amount of oak and ashwood furniture. The nickel bed is in the back corner behind a screen, covered in red silk.
The room and the corridor are illuminated with ceiling crystal lanterns. The floor is covered with a strip of carpet.
In the oak wardrobe is a khaki tunic belonging to the tutor.
At the toilet hangs his card:
