The history of the development of the faucet.
February 20 , 2023
Faucets in Istanbul first appeared in the 16th century, four or five hundred years earlier than Beijing.
Before the appearance of the faucet, there was a kind of animal-head-shaped "spout" (my translation is not good) inlaid on the wall of the water supply spring, usually made of stone, and a few made of metal. Plus any controlled long runs. In order to avoid wasting water and solve the increasingly serious shortage of water resources, people have developed faucets.

It was cast in bronze, later switched to cheaper brass. Some faucets are simply functional, while others are very decorative. Various shapes of faucets, such as snakes, dragons, rams heads, geometric shapes or flower shapes, all reflect the architectural decoration style of that era. Most of the faucets in the palace and other important buildings are made of silver, silver alloy or bronze plated with gold, and are exquisitely carved. During the 18th and 19th centuries, faucets made for palaces and mansions paid more attention to decoration, so that they were overtaken by others, and their practical functions were subordinated to their decorative functions. It is not too much to say that they are handicrafts.
Various ancient faucets can still be seen in the palace, on the street, on the wall of the water supply spring or outside the mosque. But it is only by visiting the Faucet Museum that one can really appreciate how the decorativeness of the Ottoman faucet outweighed its practicality. This faucet museum belongs to E.C.A., a company that produces faucets in what is now Turkey. There are so many Ottoman faucets in the collection, and the exquisite workmanship is beyond my expectation. However, in order to facilitate maintenance, these faucets were originally designed to be easy to disassemble, which caused the faucets to be scattered. It is difficult to find out what kind of buildings they belong to. We can only guess: from the court? Rich family? Or on the street? Ordinary people's house?

Entering the 21st century, great changes have taken place in the consumer market. Material abundance has given birth to a trend of thinking about landscape life around the world. Many consumers have begun to have their own unique understanding and rights to the taste of life. They promote refined life, Materialism, cultural taste, personality, self and other banners to create your own perfect living space. In the past, when many families bought faucets, they simply thought that "it can be used as long as it can be used". Nowadays, with the increasingly obvious style of home decoration, the bathroom space has begun to show individuality everywhere. In order to create a personalized bathroom space, from faucets, washbasins, shower equipment to bathroom accessories, etc., the unique design shows individuality and extraordinary everywhere. The taste, classic art design breaks through the usual way of thinking, and uses the faucet as a piece of art, bringing a bit of cultural atmosphere to the bathroom space. Under this new concept of consumption, the artistic faucet makes users tasteful and ornamental.
