Ottoman Art and the Court Workshop
Court workshops, Iznik tiles, metalwork, textiles and imperial architecture from Bursa to Topkapı, with named museum works
Ottoman art names the luxury objects, tiles, metalwork, textiles and architectural programmes made under sultans from the fourteenth century to the early twentieth. The Ehl-i Hiref court corps and the nakkashane design office coordinated makers in Istanbul, Iznik and Bursa. This survey stays with workshop organisation and decorative media; miniature painting and manuscripts sit in sibling guides.
