Fedor Solntsev (1801-1892) was the main decorator of Kremlin interiors for Tsar Nicholas I and was asked to study the vast collections which culminated in a six volume work "Antiquities of the Russian State." The porcelain service commissioned from the Imperial porcelain works for the Kremlin Palace is based on drawings Solntsev made for this work, namely the cloisonné enamel and gold plates and dishes from the collections of the Kremlin Armoury, made for Tsar Alexis (1645-76), father of Peter the Great.
