The Armorial Hall of the Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, is a vast chamber originally designed for official ceremonies.
The Armorial Hall is located between the Military Gallery and the palace courtyard.
The current hall was designed by Vasily Stasov in the late 1830s, after the original hall was damaged by an extensive palace fire in 1837; it was at this time that the fluted columns were gilded.
In the center of the hall sits a lapidary vase made of aventurine from 1842.
Today, as part of the State Hermitage Museum, this room retains its original decoration.
