The aim of the article is to present the names of the valuables in testaments of the Russian great and appanage princes of the 14th-16th century. Special attention has been paid to clothing terminology (names of textiles, colours and dyes, individual garments, clothing details). Lexicographical and etymological data, as well as a semantic classification of dress and clothing detail names are provided. According to Jean Baudrillard, far from the primary status of an object being a pragmatic one, it is the sign exchange value which is fundamental. Thereupon, the attempt to present the social meaning and the unconscious discourse of the valuables mentioned in the testaments of the Rurik dynasty members is also made in this article.

Lexicographical and etymological data as well as the semantic classification of the tableware names are provided. Dishes and eating utensils used by the Rurik dynasty members during feasts were made of gold or silver and were extremely decorative.

The author draws our attention to the fact that vicarious consumption on the house by invited guests was possible too. Therefore, the social meaning of these valuables is presented in this article.
