Talk:Yıldız Palace

Untitled

In chapter 1: Origine.

The sentence:

“When he moved there, the palace became the fourth seat of Ottoman government (the previous ones were the Eski Saray (Old Palace) in Edirne, and the Topkapı and Dolmabahçe Palaces in Istanbul.)”

contains an error. It should be:

“When he moved there, the palace became the fourth seat of Ottoman government in Istanbul; the previous ones were the Eski Saray (Old Palace, on the site of the antique Forum Tauri, west of the Grand Bazaar), the Topkapı Palace and the Dolmabahçe Palace”.

Arguments:

None of the early-Ottoman palaces in Edirne is called ‘Eski Saray’ (see: Turkish Vikipedia).

The first Ottoman palace in Istanbul is called ‘Eski Saray’ – and the next one: ‘Yeni Saray’ (new Palace), better known as the ‘Topkapı Sarayı’. (see: Turkish Vikipedia).

Apart from using an unfit name for the Edirne Palace(s), the sentence in its present state encounters two problems (at least):

- it does not mention the first seat of Ottoman government in Istanbul;

- it does not mention Bursa as First Ottoman capital.

Artifacts in Yidiz Palace

I am an American, born in Istanbul from Turkish parents. My Grandfather was Isaac Ferrera. I understand he was "general counsel" in the Ottoman Empire.

With the passing of both my father and my mother, my siblings and I inherited a large tapestry that has been in the family for many years. According to my mother; The tapestry was embroidered by three women in the Harem of Sultan Hamid and was used in the the Yildiz Palace.

My Grandfather bought the tapestry and understood that it was approximately 100 years old at the time. My Grandfather died around 1930.

My siblings and I have many questions about the history and importance of this piece, however, at this immediate moment, we need an appraisal for my mother's estate.

If anyone can give us information as to how to proceed, we would be totally grateful.
