Ducal Wardrobe
Explanation:
guardaroba ducale = ducal wardrobe, Ducal Wardrobe

a type of storage space, small private study spaces, containing precious collected artifacts

Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, Italy
The idea behind the guardaroba is similar to that of late medieval studioli, which were small private study spaces, containing precious collected artifacts. Many courtly residences possessed similar spaces to the guardaroba, yet the guardaroba of Palazzo della Signoria is one of the earliest examples that integrates cartography into its decorative elements.
* Guardaroba best translates * to a * type of storage space, or ‘wardrobe’ * and its purpose was to house a collection; an early wunderkammer of sorts. Evidently, collections of artifacts and precious items existed before the Renaissance, yet it is not until the Renaissance that there consistently appeared collections which were preserved and interpreted, known as wunderkammen.

ducal “Collections”


Explanation:


Il ducato prospera fino al 1631, anno in cui passa al domini della Chiesa. Vittoria della Rovere, ultima della dinastia, porterà a Firenze, dove va sposa al cugino Ferdinando de’ Medici, tutta la “Guardaroba” ducale.
Le strepitose collezioni del palazzo urbinate sono ora in gran parte conservate nella Galleria degli Uffizi. Nella collezione Barberini finiscono inveve gli Uomini Illustri dello studiolo (in parte ora al Louvre).


The duchy prospered until 1631, when it passed under the rule of the Church. Vittoria della Rovere, the last of the dynasty, took all of the ducal “Collections” to Florence, where she was to marry her cousin, Ferdinando de’ Medici.
The astounding collections from the ducal palace are now, for the most part, to be found in the Uffizi Gallery. The Illustrious Men from the duke’s study joined the Barberini collection (a part of which is now in the Louvre).

si tratta di collezioni, infatti si parla di "la guardaroba", femm.

La Guardaroba fu, sino dalla sua origine, l'ufficio preposto all'amministrazione dei beni mobili della famiglia Medici. Le prime notizie della sua esistenza risalgono agli anni ottanta del XV secolo, quando i Medici abitavano ancora nel palazzo di via Larga. Dopo il trasferimento della famiglia ducale in Palazzo Vecchio e la formazione di un vero e proprio apparato di corte, ebbe luogo una generale riorganizzazione amministrativa che coinvolse anche la Guardaroba. Tale ufficio infatti, oltre a mantenere le competenze sulla gestione e la conservazione del patrimonio mobiliare, consistente in ***suppellettili, oggetti d'arte, argenteria e quant'altro andasse accumolandosi nei palazzi, nelle ville e nelle gallerie di proprieta granducale***, fu incaricato di presiedere all'esecuzione delle opere d'arte e degli oggetti d'uso per le necessita della famiglia, di allestire opere teatrali ed organizzare feste o altri eventi particolari. Data la rilevanza degli incarichi svolti, l'ufficio disponeva di un assegnamento annuo stanziato da parte della Depositeria generale, con il quale provvedeva a pagare direttamente fornitori, maestranze ed artisti. Il personale impiegato fu inizialmente composto da un ***guardaroba maggiore, responsabile della conservazione degli oggetti e masserizie*** sia "fatte quanto da farne e fabbricarne", un sostituto o sottoguardaroba, un computista ed altri ministri addetti a mansioni inferiori.

in senso lato sono gli oggetti di valore (dipinti ecc.)
in senso stretto è un ufficio che gestisce proprietà varie
sicuramente non è wardrobe
quindi direi

in the ducal "Guardaroba"
oppure
of the ducal collection/s
