Most viewed - Dolmabahçe Palace, 4/1/2006

What would you call this piece?460 viewsThere was nothing to indicate what the vessel suspended from the elephant tusk was intended to contain. Very imaginative, and very much unacceptable if it were made today, but in the nineteenth century nobody worried about elephants becoming extinct.

Blue Room460 viewsWhere the Sultan met with the public, when he was so inclined.

Medhal (Reception Room)457 viewsThe main entrance hall, where a visit to the Dolmabahçe Palace begins. Guests would wait here to be escorted to their appointed destination by a palace protocol officer.

Jerry and Sandie456 viewsIn the garden of the Dolmabahçe Palace.

Colorful Chandelier454 viewsOne of the simpler (!) and to my mind the most pleasing of the many chandeliers in the palace.

Serving Dishes and Utensils450 viewsGracing the dining table in the harem.

Detail of Crystal Staircase438 viewsThe bannister supports are made of Baccarat crystal.

Ming Vase429 viewsThe OIttoman sultans had a penchant for the most exquisite Chinese wares.

Crystal Staircase422 viewsBuilt in the shape of a double horseshoe, using crystal, brass and mahogany.

Harem Furniture417 viewsElaborately carved wooden furniture was a staple of the harem rooms.
