Giorgio Riello argues de Hooch's Leisure Time in Elegant Company with its Turkish carpet, tobacco, beaver hat and porcelain exemplifies the power of global goods in early modern interiors as expressions of status. In Ham's collection we can move beyond painted images to analyse a seventeenth-century interior in situ. Working a season at Ham I read the global everywhere; from the porcelain and japanned furniture in the gallery to images of Van Dyck and Charles II with sunflower and pineapple. My mind drifted to the Lauderdale's connection to the RAC on sight of the portrait of Elizabeth with African attendant and I wondered what Asian spices or American roots entered her posset or still house. During this PhD I wish to investigate the origins of the collection before extrapolating what this unique set of objects can tell us about the significance of global goods to elite self-fashioning. This work will fit into the expanding field of global material culture. As well as testing to Riello's claims, this work will also provide a comparative accompaniment to Nuno Senos's work upon empire within the inventories of the 5th Duke of Bragança. Ham House provides an opportunity to test and extend Working's thesis of the significance of Atlantic world goods to the politics and culture of the Lauderdales' London with an analysis of goods from both the Americas and Asia. This work will also build upon Misha Ewen's analysis of the Newfoundland porcelain collections of two well-connected sisters. In her analysis of archaeological survivals of European and Chinese pottery she found a gendered expression colonial power. This expanding scholarly literature poses questions that I shall seek to answer in the PhD. Beyond seeking out the origins of the house I am interested in what this work can tell us about the ambiguous use of 'Indian' in collection inventory. If it could refer to goods from the Caribbean, India, Japan or New Mexico did these regions and their products sit in the same space in the English imagination? Furthermore, were such global goods an elite shorthand for involvement in colonial enterprise in both the east and west? Considering the importance of Elizabeth within the history of the house, I would also like to better understand whether we can read her agency in the collection. Was Ham's collection a gendered expression of the family's wealth and connection? Can we read in the house a woman's involvement in imperial thinking and colonial projects?

乔治·里洛（Giorgio Riello）认为，德·霍奇（De Hooch）的休闲时光在优雅的公司中，其土耳其地毯，烟草，海狸帽子和瓷器在现代早期内饰中的全球商品的力量是地位的表达。在Ham的收藏中，我们可以超越彩绘图像，以分析17世纪的原位。我在火腿工作一个赛季，我在世界各地阅读全球。从画廊中的瓷器和japann的家具到带有向日葵和菠萝的Van Dyck和Charles II的图像。我的思想与非洲服务员一起看到了劳德代尔与RAC的联系，我想知道亚洲香料或美国的根源进入了她的Posset或仍然是房子。在此博士学位期间，我希望在推断这套独特的对象可以告诉我们全球商品对精英自我塑造的重要性之前，研究集合的起源。这项工作将适合全球物质文化的扩展领域。除了测试里埃洛的主张外，这项工作还将为努诺·塞诺斯（Nuno Senos）在布拉甘索（Bragança）第五公爵库存中对帝国的工作提供比较安排。 Ham House提供了一个机会，通过对来自美洲和亚洲的商品的分析来测试和扩展Working关于大西洋世界商品对劳德代尔伦敦的政治和文化的重要性的论点。这项工作还将建立在Misha Ewen对两个良好联系姐妹的纽芬兰瓷器收藏的分析的基础上。在对欧洲和中国陶器的档案存活率的分析中，她发现了性别表达殖民力量。这种不断扩展的科学文献拥有我将寻求在博士学位上回答的问题。除了寻找房屋的起源外，我对这项工作可以告诉我们“印度”在收集库存中的模棱两可的使用感兴趣。如果它可以参考加勒比海，印度，日本或新墨西哥州的商品，这些地区及其产品是否在英国想象中坐在同一空间中？此外，如此全球的商品是否是东部和西部殖民企业参与的精英速记？考虑到伊丽莎白在众议院历史上的重要性，我也想更好地理解我们是否可以在收藏中阅读她的代理。汉姆（Ham）的收藏是对家庭财富和联系的性别表达吗？我们可以在屋子里阅读妇女参与帝国思维和殖民项目吗？
