Thanks again EmmyLee, I do appreciate the time you've taken to assist me. I'm giving a talk here in Auckland shortly on the Alexander Palace and this was something I wanted to cover off. I'm interested too in your point about the film Romanovy-Ventsenosnaya assisting with the restoration of the New Study. It seems to me that Nicholas II's rooms, by and large, were better maintained after the War than the other rooms in the private wing. As I understand it, after the War when the Palace was handed over to the navy, a decision was made to strip away what remained of the features of the rooms associated with Alexandra but that this wasn't the case with the rooms of Nicholas II? I've aways been intrigued by this. Paul
