EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a selection of exquisite items donated to a charitable cause during the late 1890s, following the aftermath of war in the Middle East. The ancient embroidered cover in rich red and gold hues, graciously donated by the Sultan Abdul Hamid II, adds an air of regal elegance to the collection. The large vase, crafted in Berlin and presented by the German Emperor, showcases intricate designs, reflecting the fusion of European and Middle Eastern influences. Another fascinating addition is the album filled with captivating views of Egypt, kindly donated by the mother of the Khedive. The album's pages hold a testament to the beauty and grandeur of the region, providing a glimpse into its rich history and culture. The ancient casket, made from mother-of-pearl and donated by Mehmet Cemaleddin Efendi, a senior judge of the Ottoman Empire, adds a touch of exotic allure to the collection. The ancient rifle, presented by Ismail Bey, Deputy Governor of Pera, stands as a reminder of the tumultuous times, symbolizing the resilience and strength of the people during that era. This collection, displayed in a fundraising bazaar, represents the spirit of patronage and aid towards the wounded and their families, victims of the war. The ornate designs and intricate details on each item are a testament to the artistic prowess of the time, showcasing the unique blend of Arabic and French influences within the Ottoman Empire.
