The History Of Water Tap

Faucets in Istanbul first appeared in the 16th century, four to five hundred years before Beijing.
Before the advent of faucets, the walls of water springs were inlaid with a beast's head, usually made of stone, and a few "running nozzles" made of metal (I can't translate it well), and the water flowing from there was always a long stream of uncontrolled water. In order to avoid wasting water and solve the increasingly serious shortage of water resources, faucets have been developed.
The original faucets were cast in bronze, and later switched to cheaper brass. Some faucets are simply practical, others are very decorative. Various shapes of faucets, such as snakes, dragons, rams, geometric shapes or flowers, reflect the architectural decoration style of the era. The faucets of the court and other important buildings were mostly gilded in silver, silver alloy or bronze, and were intricately carved. In the 18th and 19th centuries, faucets made for courts and mansions were so decoratively decorative, that they subordinated their practical functions to ornamentation, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were crafts.
Antique taps can still be seen in palaces, on the streets, on the walls of water springs or outside mosques. But it's only by visiting the Faucet Museum that you can truly appreciate how the Ottoman faucet is more decorative than practical. This faucet museum belongs to E.C.A., a company that produces faucets in Turkey. The number of Ottoman faucets in the collection was unexpected. However, in order to facilitate maintenance, these faucets were originally designed to be easy to disassemble, which caused the faucets to be scattered, and many of the existing faucets have made it difficult to understand what kind of building they originally belonged to. We can only guess: is it from the court? Regal family's? Or on the street? Ordinary people's homes?
