The exhibition includes an upholstered armchair that belonged to the poet Nikolay Alexeyevich Nekrasov.

The high rectangular backrest of the armchair is slightly bent backwards and represents a frame with a soft cushion-insert. The upper part of the frame is decorated with a carved geometric pattern and has a carved upper edge. On the sides the backrest is decorated with shaped “pillars”, which consist of carved flattened balls and cubes and which join the backrest to the seat.

The upholstered seat extends to the front. The armrests are straight, resting on carved “pillars”, upholstered on top and polished underneath.

The carved straight “pillars” of the chair’s legs are joined at the bottom by carved curved stretchers.

The armchair is upholstered in morocco (fine and soft leather, specially made and dyed in a bright color), the lower edge of the upper underframe, connecting the legs of the seat, is decorated with red fringe.

After the poet’s death, this interior item came into the possession of his widow, Zinaida Nikolayevna Nekrasova. Later, it was bought from her by the poet’s brother Fyodor Nekrasov. The armchair and other personal belongings of Nikolay Alexeyevich, such as a waste paper basket and a table, were soon transported from St. Petersburg to the Karabikha estate.

The writer’s niece Vera Fyodorovna Andreeva (Nekrasova) recalls in her memoirs,
