One of the other posters has informed me that the pictures I've posted aren't showing up. Oddly enough I can see them perfectly on the screen when I have visited each page. I'm not sure what the problem is. I apologize for the inconvience. Here are links to the originals at photo bucket.

Well, I can see you pictures. Nice interiors of the Main Wing of the Palace. :)

To me this is not Gatchina, it is Elagin Palace.

MF’s grandson, in his album, indicated that it was a picture of Gatchina

If I am not mistaken Empress Maria Feodorovna used Elagin Palace too.

Anyway if you still have doubts look at this page:

I wasn't trying to contradict you. I can only tell you that they are marked (or mismarked) as Gatchina in the book Romanov Fragments de Vie. Thank you for the correction.

It's very interesting and a bit strange that Grand Duke Fedor himself made these mistakes, considering also that he used to live in those palaces!

Anyway thanks again for these wonderful pics :)

Thanks for the great photos.  Just out of curiosity, it is rumoured that the bed that Tsar Paul I died on was kept somewhere locked away at Gatchina.  Does anybody know if this is true?

Can anyone confirm if this is the cabinet study of Marie Feodorovna at Gatchina as the vaulted ceiling is representative of their suite of rooms:

Also can anyone identify the uniform that MF is wearing in this rare photograph? Is it possibly one of the Gatchina regiments?

Joanna,
The first picture is definitely from Marie Feodorovna and Alexander's suite at Gatchina.  I have seen the room described as Marie Feodorovna's Drawing Room

Here's another photo of her in the same uniform, if it's of help:

Marie Feodorovna was Chief of two regiments, I believe:
the Chevaliers-Gardes and her Own Guards’ Cuirassiers.

In some thread ( I haven't a clue which one), the uniforms were descriibed as:

Quote:
"feminine version of uniforms of the Chevaliers-Gardes and her Own Guards’ Cuirassiers (white form fitting tunic and long skirt)"
Unquote

The Guards Cuirassiers uniform might be the one in the photographs. (The description seems accurate.)
