One of the two coastal pavilions of Topkapı Palace in Sarayburnu was Sepetciler Pavilion and the other was Yalı Pavilion. This pavilion which is the only one to have reached our day among the pavilions, mansions and coastal palaces of the exterior garden and coast of the palace, was constructed by Sultan Ibrahim in 1643. lt was renovated comprehensively in the era of Mahmud l (1730 - 1751) in 1739. In spite of several maintenances, it was able to survive until the mid of 19th century without major changes. However, in a photo taken by Robertson during the Crimean War it is seen that the open divanhane of Sepetciler Pavilion was totally closed and all of the corbels were removed and the building seemed like a barrack. The importance of Sepetciler Pavilion for the life in Istanbul was to harbor imperial rowboats.

This fountain is a masterpiece of the Tulip Period. There is a one large fountain in the middle and two small fountains on both sides. Build height 4 m. and the width is 3.65 m. The front is covered with embossed motifs, which are exquisite examples of inscriptions and stone carvings.
