The Turkish holdings in the Khalili Collection constitute the most comprehensive collection of Ottoman art outside Turkey, with examples from the 15th to the early 20th centuries. The Collection is especially strong on calligraphy, and provides an important corrective to the Western view of Ottoman art as consisting principally of ceramics and textiles.

The catalogue illustrates 226 items from the Collection in full colour . Each object is catalogued in detail, and two introductory essays narrate the history of the Ottoman Empire and of the collection of its artifacts and Western attitudes to them.
