This source material has a considerable value for exploring the rhythm of the court’s functioning, including the distinction between everyday matters and manifestations of splendour and luxury. Various property inventories of the magnate were analysed. The materials used, coming from 1738–1741, mainly concerned the particulars of the Biała estate. The source base was supplemented by information from private correspondence, indicating the individual taste of the magnate and her methods of obtaining particular items. Inventories were shown to be a valuable source for research on the everyday life of magnate courts in the 18th century. It is also an excellent material for researching many issues connected with the material sphere and the use of goods in that time"]
