Polar Star or Standart? You decide. Looks to be about 1900-1901?

ALL PHOTOS ABOVE BELONG TO ROMANOV RUSSIA TODAY. AS IN THEY’RE NOT MINE.
PHOTO CAPTIONS:
1st- The Imperial Bedroom, facing the dressing room and bath
2nd- Alexandra’s Formal Reception Room (You can see her tapestry of Marie-Antoinette and children here.)
3rd- Portrait Hall (That chandelier? Electrified in 1895. Pretty cool, huh?)
4th- Alexei’s Playroom (This room held a Christmas tree during the season, and was where the presents were placed.)
5th- Palisander Room
6th- Mauve Room (The painting that is above the “a” in “Russia” is The Virgin Sleeping by Papion, a French artist. A better view can be seen here.)
7th- Also the Mauve Room (To the right of the mirror, there are two pictures. The upper one is of Alexei, and one that we haven’t seen yet, I believe. Here is a closer image. He appears to be in garb not unlike Alexei’s namesake, Tsar Alexei.)
8th- Imperial Bedroom (This wall contained many, many things she purchased while she was on a trip to Italy, with her brother, Ernie.)
9th- Imperial Bedroom (That pink chandelier? Yeah, there was an opposite one on the other side of the room. Beyond that though, I can’t find anything more on them. Sad face.)
10th- EVEN MORE MAUVE ROOM (On that table (under the big frilly lamp thing) there was a telephone installed there, by a Swedish company by the name of Eriksson.)
11, 12, and 13- The Large Library, the Small Library, and the Tsar’s Reception Room. Unfortunately, I have no interesting facts about these rooms, but they’re beautiful all the same!
