The Throne room was restored on the second floor of the historical building of the Museum of the History of Management of Siberia. It has been located in the Palace of Governor since Tobolsk Viceroyalty opened on August 30, 1782. The book of local historian Kapiton Golodnikov ‘The city of Tobolsk and its environs’ describes this hall:

A detailed description of the throne has been preserved in archival documents: ‘A large Imperial chair, upholstered in crimson velvet and lined with golden braid with such a fringe stood on a raised platform with several steps, covered with red cloth; the velvet on the back of chair is lined with two rows of golden braid in front; there is the Russian coat of arms in the midst, the golden eagle under the Imperial crown; back of chair is lined with golden braid in a row; around the chair, there is the golden braid with such a fringe.’ The throne was covered with ‘crimson velvet’. Above the throne were the Imperial crown, scepter and orb, Russian and other provincial coats of arms, all gilded.

It is also known that the hall was decorated with portraits in gilded frames of the Empress Catherine II, the Heir to the Throne of Grand Lord Paul Petrovich – the future Emperor Paul I with his wife Maria Feodorovna and his sons Grand Lords: Alexander – the future Emperor Alexander I and Konstantin Pavlovich.

In 1788, there was a major fire in Tobolsk and the Palace of the Governor then burned to almost a half. The Imperial throne ‘with its accessories’ was taken out to the square during the disaster and then stored in the pantry of the first floor of the burned down house until July 21, 1791. It was later handed over to the Treasury storeroom. When the Tobolsk Viceroyalty was abolished in 1799 by the local authorities, ‘in consequence of the Supreme Command’, the Imperial throne with all its accessories was sent to Saint Petersburg with the Sergeant of the Tobolsk infantry company Turkin.
