Die Kaiserlich Russische Manufaktur begann in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts Tapisserien nach Gemäldevorlagen der großen niederländischen Meister wie Rubens, Rembrandt und van Dyck zu fertigen. Neue Methoden des Webens und ausländische Tapisseriemeister verhalfen der Manufaktur zu kurzzeitigem Ruhm. Durch das Aufkommen von Tapeten und die immer geringer werdende Beliebtheit von Tapisserien wurde die Manufaktur jedoch per Dekret im Jahr 1858 geschlossen.
