The Formal White Dining Room Across from the Courtiers-In-Attendance Dining Room, on the other side of the Main Staircase, is the Formal White Dining Room. This was a hall for the empresses' formal dinners or "evening meals" and was arranged with the utmost extravagance. The walls of the dining room and their gilded carvings give the interior an air of elegance. The furnishings consist of gilded carved consoles and similar chairs, produced according to antique examples. The painted mural "The Triumph of Apollo" is a copy of a painting completed in the 19th century by the Italian artist, Guido Reni. The walls of the Formal White Dining Room feature a part of the art collection of I. Groot on hunting themes. Currently the exposition in this room shows the dining room's decoration during a formal dinner. An oval table stands in the center of the room, and is set with the "Personal Moscow Service" produced in the early 1790s by the F. Gardner Porcelain Factory. As in the 18th century, the table is covered in tablecloths with complex folds and compositions of flowers, and also decorated with a porcelain figurine, a replica of the Great Caprice in the Alexander Palace. In the spaces between the windows on the consoles stand decorative porcelain scent vases produced by the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory using the "boule de neige" technique which, translated from the French, means "snowball."
