The original Amber Room was a lavishly decorated chamber originally commissioned in 1701 by Frederick I of Prussia for a palace in Berlin, where the panels were produced but not completed as a finished room. In 1716 the panels were presented to Russian Tsar Peter I and later installed and expanded at the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo (now Pushkin), Russia. It contained ornate panels formed from nearly six tons of amber and other furnishings covered with precious stones.
