Like the Ottoman Mosque, the Ottoman Baths, and a gateway, the Pavillon du Bosphore, also called the Kiosque du Bosphore or the Maison du Bosphore, was an architectural structure commissioned by the Ottomans for the Exposition Universelle in 1867 in Paris. For the first time at a world’s fair, pavilions were erected in the park outside the main exhibition area.
The plans for the Pavillon du Bosphore were originally drawn up by Barborini, but were considerably modified when executed by the architect and decorator Léon Parvillée, who was also responsible for all the details (Exposition Universelle de 1867, 1867, p. 2).
Stucco and glass windows were one of the pavilion’s main features, appearing on the exterior as windows with bull’s-eye panes in stucco with round openings, and in the interior as stucco lattices with coloured glass in the shape of tendrils.
