This paper analyses household consumption of colonial goods across the whole income spectrum, in Lisbon and its hinterland, during the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century. We focus on manufactured products from the Empire and objects made with overseas raw materials. The survey reveals the overwhelming presence of the Empire in Lisbon households. Evidence suggests that even the poorest owned manufactured objects or objects made with raw materials from the colonies. The percentage varies between 10% and 50%, according to the different types of objects. However, quantitative and qualitative differences must be considered, as groups on the lower end of the economic scale seem to have owned fewer items, of poorer quality. These findings are in line with the international trend of lower and middling strata acquiring luxury goods
