Decorative works of art constitute an important part of the National Palaces Collection These works of art that decorate various places of the palaces and the pavilions, can be gathered in three sections as Turkish, European and Far Eastern. In 19th century where the relations with the West were growing stronger, to buy luxury consumer goods exclusively from Europe for the palace and the pavilions had become the vogue of the period.
The Sultans and the ladies of the Palaces bought lots of decorative works of art from local and foreign tradesmen residing in Galata and Beyoğlu and used them in the decoration of the palaces, the pavilions and the summer palaces. Another part of the decorative works of art found in the collection are sent by the empire members of the other countries. Besides, in Europe in many factories, decorative works of art are produced for the Ottoman market.
When studying the National Palaces Collection, we notice that a large part of the decorative works of art is of European origin. The larger section of these works of art made of porcelain, glass, metal material is formed by the porcelain vases. In general, many of these vases produced by the use of an extraordinary technique and great care where on a colored base golden gilding are made of French Sevres and Limoges porcelain.
Another part of the decorative art pieces of the palace collections are formed by the Far east vases of various sizes produces in Japan and China. Many of these works of art are formed by blue-white vases and they are complementary elements of the places constructed in an eclectic style.
During the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II. (1876-1909), in the beginning of the 1890s with the construction of Yıldız Faience Imperial Factory, the period of Turkish porcelain started in the palaces, pavilions and summer palaces. Decorative art pieces constitute the larger part of the porcelains realized with an elegant taste. These works of art, with their original forms and decoration are unique pieces.
Each of the decorative works of art made of Yıldız porcelain occupying a special place in the National Palaces Porcelain Collection, with a documentary characteristic, proves to be important as in the following of our porcelain history.
