The Lower Jewel House of the Tower of London; An Inventory and Appraisement of the Plate in 1649. An article printed in 1806, written by John Brand : 20 pages.

The article presents a detailed inventory of the royal plate stored in the Lower Jewel House of the Tower of London in 1649. It was compiled under the supervision of Carew Mildmay, who was responsible for the collection at the time. The inventory provides descriptions and valuations of various items, including gold and silver vessels, ceremonial objects, and regalia used in royal functions. Brand's observations highlight the historical significance of the collection, particularly in the context of the English Civil War, when many royal possessions were seized or sold. The document offers valuable insights into monarchical wealth, craftsmanship, and the administration of royal assets during a turbulent period in British history. 20 pages.
