Luxury goods during this period reflect intense cultural and artistic exchanges between craftsmen across the Mediterranean. In Cairo, Venice, Damascus, Florence, Valencia and Istanbul, exquisite objects were created for an international market that prized original design and superb craftsmanship. Master metalworkers Zayn al-Din and Mahmud al-Kurdi responded to the tastes of European clients by inventing new shapes.
