The Tulip Era refers to a period in the early 18th century, specifically from 1718 to 1730, in the Ottoman Empire, particularly in Istanbul. This era is characterized by a cultural and artistic flourishing, marked by the popularity of tulips and other flowers, which became symbols of wealth and status. The elite class engaged in extravagant displays of gardens and floral arrangements, reflecting their affluence. During the Tulip Era, the Ottoman Empire experienced significant economic growth and increased trade. This period also saw advancements in architecture, literature, and the arts, as the ruling class sought to emulate European styles. However, the era ended with a financial crisis, leading to a decline in the extravagant lifestyle associated with tulip cultivation.
