Hermitage hall 204 - Pavilion Hall, Palatial hall in Small Hermitage, Russia

The Pavilion Hall contains twenty-eight crystal chandeliers that illuminate white marble columns supporting an open gallery within the ornate interior space.

Architect Andrei Stackenschneider designed this hall during the reign of Nicholas I in the mid-19th century, combining Renaissance, Gothic, and Oriental elements.

The room exhibits the Peacock Clock mechanism from James Cox and features mosaic tables created by Italian and Russian artisans of the 1800s.

Visitors access the Pavilion Hall through the State Rooms on the first floor of the Winter Palace, following the route from the Jordan Staircase.

Four marble fountains in the hall replicate variations of the Fountain of Tears from Bakhchisarai Palace, complementing the colored marble columns.
