The present pieces are part of a service ordered by Emperor Nicholas I in 1834 as a gift for Mahmud II, the Ottoman Sultan (1808-1839), to
mark the signing of the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi in 1833, which
secured Russian access to the Dardanelles. Part of this service is on
display in the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul. See An Imperial
