For the bicentennial anniversary of the Patriotic War of 1812 the manufacture Meissen, commissioned by B&C Porcelain, is preparing a special project "The Imperial Guard of the Russian army of 1812". This project is unprecedented in history. The photographs on the left capture the process of creating sketches by one of the leading artists of manufacture Meissen, Christoph Trommer.

In order to embody such a project, a preparatory and research work was carried out during one year and a half with the main museums in Russia, with experts in the field of history and military clothing. As a result, a series of images of Russian Imperial Guards was ordered and paid, where the details of uniforms, equipment and weapons were performed with the maximum historical authenticity. All images are property of B&C Porcelain. Historical accuracy was the first condition of our work. Thus, we wanted to underline our utmost respect for the soldiers, from the private to the field marshal, from this bygone war, which we, of course, must remember in order to prevent a similar thing from happening again.
We are mindful of the fact that these soldiers displayed an unparalleled bravery and courage, in order to defend the honor, dignity and independence of Russia.

In addition to their historical significance, the uniforms of the soldiers of that time, in our opinion, are of great artistic interest.

In order to implement this project, we felt it necessary to apply to the manufacture Meissen, which is the best of the best. We are sincerely grateful to our partner Meissen for their agreement to execute this project.
