Details
This beautiful book explores the diplomatic, trade
and cultural exchanges between the courts of Britain
and Russia, from the reign of Henry VIII to the death of
Charles II. Through the material life of the courts, the gifts
of the diplomats and the commissions of the monarchs,
the book presents an overview of privileged living in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries – illustrating the
material life of the leading personalities of the period.
Engaging and authoritative, Treasures of the Royal Courts uses superb new photography to illustrate chapters on diplomacy, silver, portraits, miniatures, arms and armour, heraldry, textiles and jewellery by experts from the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Kremlin Museum, Moscow.
