The service was made between 1848-1852, ordered on the occasion of the marriage of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich to Alexandra Iuossipovna, Princess of Saxe-Altenburg in 1848. The design by the architect Feodor G. Solnstev (1801-1892), was a leading intellectual in the establishment of the Russian artistic identity in the 19th Century.
