EDITORS COMMENTS
This catalog illustration showcases a collection of exquisite donations from various dignitaries and merchants during the late Ottoman Empire in the 1890s. The illustration includes a vibrant, ancient embroidered satin cloth in red and silver, donated by the Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The intricate design of the cloth, adorned with Arabic script and precious stones, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Ottoman court. Next to the cloth is an enamelled hand mirror, a thoughtful gift from the mother of the Khedive. The mirror, with its ornate gold and silver decorations, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the display. A bouquet of artificial flowers in silver and gold, enriched with precious stones, is presented by the Khedive's wife. The extravagant bouquet, a symbol of beauty and prosperity, is a testament to the generosity and patronage of the royal family. Two bronze groups, one depicting a man and horse, donated by Monsieur Bortollis, the Turkish Consul, and the other featuring a family of four, signed by Clodeon and donated by the Marquise d'Oley de Paris, add a sense of history and culture to the collection. Lastly, an ancient sabre with an ornate scabbard, enriched with precious stones, was donated by Nemli Zade Freres, prominent merchants. The sabre, a symbol of power and strength, is a reminder of the military prowess and strategic importance of the Ottoman Empire during this era. This illustration, taken from a postwar fundraising catalog, showcases the generosity and patronage of various dignitaries and merchants towards the aid of wounded families and victims during the war. The collection of donations, displayed with such ornate design, reflects the rich cultural heritage and opulence of the Ottoman Empire during the late 1800s.
