mean a low bench, a couch, a divan or a storage box for linen typically used in the bedroom.
The ottoman gets its name from the Ottoman Empire a multi ethnic state that existed froim the
late thirteenth until the early twentieth century. It is an emnpire which has varied in make-up
and influence but it includes modern Turkey and other middle eastern , mediterranean and North African areas.
