 MEMORIAL MEDALS FROM THE PIOTROVSKY COLL Hermitage
Memorial Medals from the Collection of Academician Boris Piotrovsky

The State Hermitage 1994.Petersburg

Soft Bound .96 pages .Text in English and Russian.

In June 1993 the Hermitage received Boris Piotrovsky's collection of medals, as a gift from his family. Among other things, the collection, comprising some 200 items of the late 19th—20th centuries, is of considerable interest because of its owner, a representative of St. Petersburg intelligentsia, world famous scholar, and the director of the Hermitage during a quarter of a century.
Boris Borisovich Piotrovsky belonged to those collectors who are able to appreciate the real value of "miniature monuments" which combine the artists' talent and craftsmanship and the memory of glorious events and outstanding personalities. It is due to this interest of him that the Hermitage collection of medals has a number of important items donated, at different times, by its director. The present collection consisting of medals given to Boris Piotrovsky, either as awards or gifts from artists, his friends and colleagues, is largely of personally commemorative nature; for this reason it was decided to preserve it as a single exposition.
Unlike many other collectors, Piotrovsky did not make it his only goal to acquire rarities or objects united with a similar theme or subject matter. One of the most attractive aspects of this collection is its having been formed as a reflection of its owner's many interests. The medal is an
object of a noble and, in a sense, elite art. Himself belonging to the cultural elite of our society, Piotrovsky made his collection of medals an integral part of his universe, together with books, paintings, drawings, and works of applied art.



Памятные медали из собрания академика Б. Б. Пиотровского

Издательства: Славия, Государственный Эрмитаж, 1994 г.
Мягкая обложка, 96 стр.

От издателя
В июне 1993 г. в Эрмитаж была передана коллекция медалей Бориса Борисовича Пиотровского. Почти 200 памятников медальерного искусства конца XIX-XX вв. представляют значительный интерес с разных точек зрения и прежде всего своей принадлежностью Б.Б.Пиотровскому, представителю петербургской интеллигенции, ученому с мировым именем, директору Эрмитажа на протяжении четверти столетия. В этом основная ценность коллекции для Эрмитажа и именно это обстоятельство обусловило принятое дирекцией музея решение хранить ее, как единый комплекс. Б.Б.Пиотровский не принадлежал к числу обычных коллекционеров, озабоченных собиранием материала по какой-либо теме или поисками раритетов. Он ценил очарование миниатюр, в которых труд и талант художников соединен с памятью о выдающихся событиях и личностях. Особая прелесть этого собрания в том, что оно складывалось день за днем, становясь отражением жизни и круга интересов его владельца. Медаль - элитарный памятник в лучшем смысле этого слова; сам Борис Борисович был представителем культурной элиты и коллекция медалей органично вошла в окружавший его предметный мир наряду с книгами, произведениями живописи, графики, прикладного искусства.

Looks good but the wall anchors is TRASH!
Size: 3-tier shelves, Size: 3-tier shelves
The product is heavy and sturdy once you get it up completely. The issue I have is with the instructions... 1. The 5/16 drill bit is recommends is WAY TO BIG. The Anchors it comes with will slip right through. The screws that is comes with are WAY TO SMALL for the weight. I recommend getting better ones from the hardware store and painting the screws black for better aesthetics. 2. The instructions say to put it together first then hang it on the wall. That is great so you can see where you want to place it and because it is actually bigger than it looks, but you will need to de-assemble it from the bottom shelf down after you mark where you want to place it, then put that part on the wall, then reassemble it from there, securing the top part to the wall last. The instructions sucked but that is what worked best for me. Another thing is when you first assembling it, you will notice that you will have to unscrew it a bit so the pipes can fast the correct way. This will make it feel flimsy, but it will tighten up when you secure it to the wall. Also, like some people said in previous reviews, some of the black paint did peel off the pipes, not to much for me but it was noticeable if you look at it hard enough.

Love the look of these
Size: 24in-Shelve
I love the look of these. Bought for towel storage over my toilet. They look really classy and I'm so happy with them. However, its important to note that the wall anchors they provide are way too big for the screws. The screws just fall into the inside of the anchor without even being screwed in. So there's no way you could secure the wall unit with the ones provided. We had to replace the anchors with some I already had. Other than that very happy with the quality and look.

Great shelf
Size: 24in-Shelve
I’m a fan! Good quality, sturdy shelf, very easy to assemble and put on the wall. I recommend having a second person to help hold the shelf while you get the first few screws in, just to keep it level. I love the larger shelf space, it gives me a lot more storage for the bathroom.

Great Product!
Size: 3tiers-Shelves, Size: 3tiers-Shelves
This shelf system is an awesome option if you're looking for an industrial/rustic vibe. It's feels super well made and was easy to assemble. The finish on the wood is fantastic! All the hardware for mounting was there and even if you have minimal experience mounting brackets and hardware to the wall - this was still very easy. I especially appreciated the "U" brackets to secure the wood shelves to the posts - that was an unexpected extra that I was very happy to see included. Unfortunately because of space and the way my wife wanted these spaced, we didn't use the third shelf, but we're definitely going to find some place else in the house to mount that later. Overall, if you like this decor - I would definitely recommend this item!
