St. Petersburg, February 3 (Xinhua) — 155 lacquer panels from the Chinese Hall in the Zubovsky Wing of the Catherine Palace have been recreated by Chinese artisans and delivered to Tsarskoye Selo. This was reported on Tuesday by the St. Petersburg Culture Committee's website, "Culture of St. Petersburg."
The total area of the lacquer panels is nearly 170 square meters. The restoration work took approximately two years, carried out by masters from the Beijing Xinxingshi Art Company using analogs provided by the museum.
As St. Petersburg Vice Governor Boris Piotrovsky noted on his Tegegram channel, the historical panels, like the rest of the interior of the apartments of Russian Empress Catherine II, were destroyed during the Great Patriotic War.
The installation of the restored paintings on the walls of the Zubovsky wing is planned to be fully completed in the summer of 2026. –0–
