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.

This was everything I needed. And it was exactly as described. And I really like the multiple ways that the brackets can be used. Good product. And a very good price.

Read the sizes
Color: Black, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
These look bigger and wider in the photos, but they are small, so read the measurements before buying.
They are not real wood but they are sturdy and look great on my wall! They are easy to put together also. I love them!

Such a good price!
Color: Dark Carbonized Pine, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
Love them! They are so cute, couple notes. The wood doesn’t come with pre drilled pilot holes for attaching the brackets so you will need a drill/drillbits. It is real wood which impressed me, but outside tools definitely required. Including a level!! The “level” they offer is indeed a bubble in liquid, but it’s about an inch long, 1/2in wide and a cylinder so probably the most useless, cutest level I’ve seen in my life. Otherwise great! They hold exactly what I need.

Very soft.
Color: Black, Size: 16.5 x 6.1 x 0.59 inches
Easy to setup. Wood shelves are VERY soft but great for light weight things and nicknaks.
