The subject of our discussion is the travelogue of Evliya Çelebi, born in 1611to a goldsmith of the sultans’ palace known as Derviş Mehemmed Zılli andwho probably died in Cairo around 1685. It is intriguing for a multitudeof reasons, one of them especially relevant for the present purpose: WhileEvliya’s work covers the entire Ottoman Empire and adjacent territories inten substantial volumes, we do not know the patrons and/or other addresseesthat the author may have envisaged. While the author often mentioned twogrand viziers and other figures of the highest levels of the Ottoman elite,who employed him and with whom he had good relations, by the mid-1680sthey had mostly predeceased him, sometimes by several decades.

The present article investigates the jewelry and domestic furnishings owned by wealthy women who died in Bursa during the early 1730s, combining the data derived from the estate inventories of the decedents with imagery, both Ottoman and non-Ottoman, dating to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This tentative linkage between the written and the visual has made it possible to 'zoom in' on the manner in which well-to-do females of eighteenth-century Bursa decorated their homes, and speculate about the considerations that induced them to use the most valuable textiles largely for home furnishings as opposed to garments.
