Portraits and Caftans of the Ottoman Sultans

Chronologically ordered, this lavishly illustrated large-format book traces the clothing worn by each of the 36 sultans ruling across six centuries of the Ottoman Empire. Coupled with their unrivaled military prowess, artistic patronage and expert political command, the gold thread, fur linings, diamond studding, and vibrant colors of the sultans’ caftans were as magnificent as the lifestyle these rulers led.
