In modern conditions of the choice of styles in architecture and design, there is a growing interest in studying the eclectic period similar to them in many respects, i.e. the last two-thirds of the XIX century. However, if the architectural features of the structures of provincial cities of this period have already been considered in the open press, then the problem of their interior continues to be insufficiently studied. This article is devoted to the study of the interior design features of merchant mansions of provincial cities of Russia during the eclectic period on the example of Astrakhan. The purpose of the study was to consider the peculiarities of the manifestation of eclecticism in the interior space of a private house on the example of Astrakhan merchant mansions. The article is written on the basis of archival materials of the State Archive of the Astrakhan region, as well as on the basis of works of a special orientation. The methodological basis of the study was a comparative historical analysis of literature and sources; generalization and systematization of the facts studied. The work reveals and reveals such manifestations of eclecticism in the interior of merchant mansions as the simultaneous use of Gothic motifs, elements of Baroque and Rococo, "Russian style", "Oriental taste", which clearly demonstrated the wealth and social status of their owners.
