Peter Alekseevich
Platno (Ceremonial dress)

Platno with barmas. Moscow Kremlin Workshops, late XVIIth century. Belonged to Tsar Peter Alekseevich
The Platno of Tsar Peter Alekseevich was executed in Kremlin Workshops in the late XVIIth century. It is a special ceremonial dress that was to be used only for official events.
The platno differed from traditional noblemen’s clothes by wide long sleeves and a special round collar – barmas. It was sewed of precious fabrics from European  and Oriental countries. The colour of gold symbolizing richness and power prevailed in the colouring of fabrics, lined furs. The dress was adorned with laces, golden buttons and precious ornamental gussets, which themselves were artworks of jewelry. Such decorations made the dress weight a lot. That is why special servants, who upheld a ruler during a ceremonial procession to the Assumption Cathedral, are mentioned in crowning books.
