Antiques and old
stuff are found all over Turkey—this
is a very old country, after all—but
the best antique shops are undoubtedly
in Istanbul.
Perhaps because they were the first,
or perhaps because Istanbul has a larger
number of people who appreciate antiques,
this city is the center of the trade.
For help in finding exactly what you're
looking for, call on Marilyn
Hill-Henderson.
Check out the Grand
Bazaar's central Old Bazaar section,
which has been the place to find
odd and curious treasures for about
a thousand years.
Also stroll Beyoglu's Çukurcuma neighborhood,
especially Faik Pasa Sokak and Çukurcuma
Caddesi, not far from Galatasaray
Square.
The shops here specialize in old prints,
paintings, maps, home decorations,
furniture, glassware, old weapons,
etc.
Before you buy anything made before
1900, please read my antiquities
warning! It's extremely important!
