Antikarnas Istanbul

Çukurcuma

About

Housed in an elegantly restored four-storey townhouse, this is a great shop in which to browse amongst fine 19th-century Ottoman landscape paintings, exquisite Selçuk-era ceramics and genuine antiquities that truly belong in a museum. Until very recently, the Türks were in the dreadful habit of throwing out precious antiques and replacing them with gaudy manufactured products. These days however, old is chic and consequently prices have rocketed.
