Topkapi Fruit Room IV | Hand-Embroidered Framed Artwork

A Contemporary Textile Interpretation of Ottoman Palace Art

Inspired by the Topkapi Palace Fruit Room (Yemiş Odası), this hand-embroidered silk artwork reimagines Iznik botanical language through a contemporary textile lens. Flourishing fruit-bearing trees, tulips and stylised floral forms come together in a refined composition that balances structure and movement.

Set against a saffron-toned silk ground, the embroidery features pomegranates, blossoms and flowing foliage rendered in deep reds, indigos and soft ivory tones. Every element is crafted with meticulous chain-stitch embroidery, echoing the spirit of Ottoman decorative murals while standing firmly in the present.

Editor’s Note

Palace walls tell stories — this one is embroidered in silk.

Topkapi Fruit Room IV brings the visual rhythm of Iznik gardens into a contemporary textile composition. The pomegranate branches, tulips, saz leaves, cintamani elements and stylised vines form a calm yet striking arrangement that feels both historic and modern — a refined extension of the Topkapi Fruit Room series.
