First let me thank Reco for posting these images. I hope they are some use to Brian.

Second, the above picture is part of the Silver Boudoir, but I'm not sure exactly what is or what it was used for? Does anyone know?

Third, Brian you mention a list of rooms you wanted to see, one of them being the "small bedroom". That room is not a small bedroom! It resembles the Rotunda Major room so that room was a bit of a suprise to me. One of the nicest rooms belonging to Felix and Irina, in my opinion.

i cut & pasted the list of rooms from the english version of the website.   
did you mean "small ballroom"?    if it is, it's the ballroom with columns of yellow marble that Feliks jr describes in Lost Splendour.  it's backed by the semicircular winter garden.

and i have to say, RECO, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS!!!

you've no idea how much i appreciate your posts!
as i said, you're absolutely marvelous!

  Brain you are right. It's the small ballroom. How embarressing! I guess that's what happens when you've been online for too long. Your vision starts to fail.

I wish I could have roomed and got a clear image of the pictures in Irina's bedroom. I could make out one picture/painting of Zenaida with her sons and one of Felix and Irina.

Looking back at the images of the rooms, I have to wonder why Irina and Felix's rooms arn't as nice as his parents? Where those rooms more damaged than the others over the years?
