Notlar
By the second half of the sixteenth century, Ottoman woodworkers had begun to employ inlays of mother of pearl and tortoiseshell, two technically difficult to work materials. This technique reached a very high standard under the Ottoman Turks after a court workshop was founded that specialised in mother of pearl inlay. New patterns were devised, and a combination of bone, mother of pearl and wood was used to inlay objects such as Quran stands, door, and boxes. This technique spread from Istanbul to Syria sometime during the late sixteenth century, after the Ottomans conquered Syria in 1516. Several artistic industries, including ceramics, were produced in Syria yet under the stylistic influence of the Ottoman court. These arts continued to be produced well into the twentieth century, until the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1922.
