The Banquet Service for the Farm Palace was commissioned in March 1840, probably in preparation for the Grand Duke's marriage to Marie of Hesse and Rhine (the future Empress Maria Alexandrovna) in 1841. The relatively small service comprised only 36 covers and, together with its lavish decoration, indicates that it was intended for the most exclusive dinners hosted in the future Emperor's household.
