    Something is amiss here. Typical 13th century furniture was boxy, clunky and utilitarian. The dining room pictured looks far too elegant for that time period. In fact, those dining chairs look very similar to Chippendale dining chairs I've seen.

    In the Peterhof. Peter was fascinated by technology and mechanisms so it's no surprise that he had it installed in the Hermitage...
