Colleagues from museums, galleries and university contexts were asked to focus not on the figure of the early modern consort herself but on specific objects or genres of object associated with her. When a royal bride moved from one territory to another, she transported quantities of furniture, books, paintings, clothes, or jewellery to her new home. In later life, she often continued to acquire things from her native country or via her dynastic networks or she could serve as a conduit through which objects were "exported". Two introductory essays look at patterns of exchange and inheritance. The case studies of objects that follow reveal general patterns of cultural exchange set in motion by royal consorts, in several cases focusing on relatively under-studied courts and dynasties. East and west, north and south were interconnected by objects and people through physical travel and via letters and in print. Gifts, trade or inheritance played a part in moving objects over space and time. These essays give examples of how objects on the move could transfer value (symbolic, dynastic or financial) and how the perception of these objects, many of which have become part of contemporary national heritage, changed across generations along with the impact they had, both culturally and politically. / Table of Contents Jill Bepler and Svante Norrhem Introduction Cultural transfer and exchange Volker Bauer Connecting Courts, Castles, Capitals Cultural exchange in the Early Modern society of princes Almut Bues Inventories and the Movement of Objects Genres and Materials Catharine MacLeod Facing Europe: the Portraiture of Anne of Denmark (1574-1619) Margherita Palumbo I was much courted by the entire English nation The English books owned by Sophie of the Palatinate, Electress of Hanover Adelina Modesti Nelle mode le piu novelle The latest fashion trends (textiles, clothing and luxury fabrics) at the court of Grand Duchess Vittoria della Rovere de Medici of Tuscany Individual objects transformed Ewa Kociszewska Devotion and Unbelief of the Gonzaga Sisters The Relic of the True Cross in Poland and France Mara Wade Princess Magdalena Sibylles Golden Horn Dynastic women and cultural transfer between Denmark and Saxony Gift culture Katrin Keller Tulips, Tobacco and Parrots Consorts and their role in the transfer of animals and plants in the second half of the sixteenth century Maureen Cassidy-Geiger Gender, Dynasty and the Politics of Porcelain The fact and impact of Meissen gifts to royal women, ca. 1714-50 Mari'lia dos Santos Lopes A Personal Gift a Part of Cultural Heritage The coach brought to Lisbon by Maria Anna of Austria Joanna Marschner The Ivory Egg Elisabeth Charlotte, Princess Palatines gift to Caroline of Ansbach About the authors Index.
