Inventory of jewellery belonging to Queen Anne of Denmark.
Scope and Contents
The pieces of jewellery are described, with their weight, on the rectos of the folios; on the versos are notes in two different hands, 1606-1611, concerning items taken away for repair, sent to the goldsmiths for use in other pieces, or removed for other reasons.
The inventory is not signed but was probably compiled under the supervision of Francis Goffin. See `Anne of Denmark`s Jewellery: The Old and the New`, pages 228-236.
A copy of a letter, 1618, to one of the Queen`s pages concerning her jewels, has been inserted (folio 1).
