I thought people might be interested in the following links. Sotheby's is
auctioning off property from the Royal House of Hanover, there's about
4,000 lots from the last 500 years plus a few medieval bits. There's a lot
of portraiture, weapons, textiles, silverware. These are just a few I
pulled out and thought to be of interest
You do have to be registered to use the site, however that isn't hard and
considering its the only chance you'll get to see some of these.

a lovely portrait, with a lovely dress. I would say regency except the
attributed sitter predates that era.

Clothing
There is a very large amount of liveries listed including hunts and galas
as well as uniforms (including the Hussars). Those lots are in the last
quarter of the catalogue. These are just a very small selection that I
thought might be of interest.
