The silver, golden throne in the style of Baroque was executed in Kremlin Workshops in 80-s of the XVIIth century for two coregent brothers – Ivan Alekseevich and Peter Alekseevich. The throne’s double construction associates with an architectural edifice. The throne’s back houses a secret hiding-place for mentors of the young tsars who were too small for taking decisions in high politics. Necessary advice were given through a special window in the throne’s back covered with red velvet.
