Regalia of Russian Tsars
Alexis Mikhailovich
Throne

Double throne. Moscow Kremlin Workshops, before 1682 - 1684. Belonged to Tsars Ivan Alekseevch and Peter Alekseevich.
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 was given through a special window in the throne’s back covered with red velvet.
