Article Title: The Fascinating Antique Collection of Eugene Petrosyan's St. Petersburg Apartment

In the heart of St. Petersburg, a unique antique collection resides in the apartment of businessman Eugene Petrosyan. The renovated space, designed for the birth of his daughter Matilda, is a treasure trove of pre-war Soviet porcelain, designer objects, and valuable art pieces.

The apartment's centrepiece is a large white and blue vase, an export ceramic from the second half of the 20th century, made "in the old style". Another vase, an obvious art object, complements the room's aesthetic. The price of these vases ranges from 90 to 470 thousand rubles per item, depending on the author.

Eugene Petrosyan's collection also includes a tile stove, a rare antique from the late 19th to early 20th century. The price of an original tile stove can range from 1.8 to 3.7 million rubles, while restored stoves are even more expensive.

The apartment's interior is adorned with 19th-century paintings, valued for their artistic school and the quality of frame preservation. The price of these paintings depends on the authorship, with "anonymous" landscapes ranging from 280,000 to 1 million rubles, and known and confirmed authors commanding prices of 1.8 million rubles and above per painting.

A lamp, a designer object inspired by Victorian decorative styles, illuminates the space. The price of this lamp is not specified but is likely expensive due to its designer status.

The apartment is also home to a collection of Soviet crystal (vases, glasses) ranging from 46 to 140 thousand rubles for a full set. Individual items range from 5 to 19 thousand rubles. These items are currently experiencing a second wave of popularity.

Eugene Petrosyan's family spends their weekends visiting theaters and museums in St. Petersburg. His wife, Tatiana Brukhunova, is 36 years old. The family has two children: Vagan (5 years old) and Matilda (who will be two in October).

Rumor has it that Petrosyan is considering building a country house in the Moscow suburbs. According to Regina Van Vliet, the furnishings in Petrosyan's apartment are worth 14 to 19 million rubles. If the artists' names for the paintings and the rarity of the porcelain are confirmed, the collection could be valued even higher - at 250 to 300 thousand euros (23 to 28 million rubles).

In a light-hearted moment, Petrosyan joked about planning a creative evening called 'I'm Still Young. I'm a Lucky Guy!' for his 100th birthday.

White coffee sets, soup tureens, and tea sets from the mid-20th century in Petrosyan's apartment are collectibles. Individual items range from 9 to 46 thousand rubles per item. Porcelain sets range from 140 to 375 thousand rubles for a full set.

Petrosyan and his family's antique-filled apartment is a testament to the businessman's appreciation for history and art, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of St. Petersburg.
