Royal hire system splashes across Europe and Russia
Queen Victoria used hire systems for pianos, carriages, and china, with over thirty instruments moved after her death. King Peter of Servia pays for his jeweled crown in installments amid graft fears. Spain and Portugal rely on hire for palace items, royal tours, and ceremonies, while German and Italian rulers also employ rental gear for grand occasions. The czar’s coronation showcased vast borrowed jewels, paid for by hire from continental jewelers.
