Episode 31
Dr Annemarie Jordan is one of the world's most important, independent scholars on luxury goods imported to Europe from Asia during the Renaissance. The trade in such goods is fascinating and much of it was destined for Europe's royal families who delighted in exotica from faraway lands for whom possession of such items was a mark of their power and prestige.
In this podcast, Dr Jordan discusses what attracted her to this intriguing area of study, her discoveries, and her current research.
