The faucet in Istanbul first appeared in the 16th century, four to five hundred years earlier than Beijing.
Before the appearance of faucets, there was a beast shaped faucet embedded on the wall of the water supply spring, usually made of stone, and a few "faucets" made of metal (I can't translate it well). The water flowing from there had always been a long and uncontrolled flow. In order to avoid wasting water and solve the continuous shortage of water resources, people have developed faucets.
The original faucet was cast in bronze, but later it was replaced with cheaper brass. Some faucets are just simple and practical, while others are very decorative. Various shapes of faucets, such as snake and dragon shapes, ram head shapes, geometric shapes, or floral shapes, all reflect the architectural decoration style of that era. The faucets in the palace and other important buildings are mostly made of silver, silver alloy, or bronze plated with gold, and are meticulously carved. In the 18th and 19th centuries, faucets made for palaces and mansions placed greater emphasis on decoration, to the extent that they were used as decorative objects, subordinating their practical functions to decorative ones. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are handicrafts.
Various ancient faucets can still be seen in the palace, on the streets, on the walls of water springs, or outside the mosque. However, only by visiting the Faucet Museum can one truly appreciate how the decoration of Ottoman faucets surpasses their practicality. This faucet museum belongs to E.C.A., a company in Türkiye that produces faucets. There are so many Ottoman faucets in my collection that I was surprised by their exquisite workmanship. However, in order to facilitate maintenance, these faucets were originally designed to be easy to disassemble, which caused the faucets to dissipate. Many existing faucets are difficult to identify which building they originally belonged to. We can only speculate: is it from the court? From a wealthy family? Or on the street? Ordinary people's families?
In the 21st century, great changes have taken place in the consumer market. Abundance of materials has given birth to a worldwide trend of thought in landscape life. Many consumers have begun to have their own unique understanding and rights to the taste of life. They hold high the banner of refined life, economic materialism, cultural interest, personality, self and so on to create their own perfect living space. In the past, many families simply thought that "it is OK to use" when buying faucets. Nowadays, with the increasingly obvious style of home decoration, bathroom spaces are also beginning to showcase individuality. In order to create personalized bathroom spaces, from faucets, washbasins, shower equipment to bathroom accessories, unique designs showcase individuality and extraordinary taste everywhere. Classic art design breaks through conventional ways of thinking and combines faucets as a piece of art, bringing some cultural atmosphere to the bathroom space. Under this new concept of consumption, art faucets provide users with both taste and ornamental value. Art faucets have added a sense of humanized design, segmented customer groups, and paid attention to the actual needs of different age groups, such as the shape of the "dragon", giving people a sense of auspiciousness, making it popular among middle-aged and elderly groups. Children have also become target customers of bathroom, They have completely different needs and demands from adults. Based on the special needs of children, they meet their emotional needs and design cartoon styling concepts such as little white rabbits and mice, which are deeply loved by children. Characters and plants are also loved by female friends. Thus obtaining broad prospects for the consumer market.
