Empress Alexandra's Dressing Room
« on: June 14, 2005, 08:42:35 AM »
With a few tantalizing words, "....for her hats and trays for her jewels..." Robert Massie gives a taste of the Empress's dressing room.

I have seen a lone picture of some of the dressingroom, showing a wardrobe and some other furniture, but I wondered if anyone had any other views of the room, particularly the portion that would have the "...trays for her jewels...".  

Thank you in advance.

maybe not trays, maybe vitrinas?
Like in the  Golden Treasury of Hermitage?

When I visited the Alexander Palace in July, the first room we were taken into (to the left of the entrance foyer) was just that: a large room.  In other words, the area that had been Alexandra's dressing room, bathroom, etc. is now just another big room about the same size as her bedroom, mauve room,  and the other rooms on the left side of the hallway (with the exception of the large reception room.)  I was disappointed but not surprised.
