The house — established 1974

The House

Classical furniture, carved and gilded by hand in Istanbul for more than fifty years — by one family.

Our philosophy

We believe furniture should be made once and kept for generations. Three empires built this city, and we inherit all of them: Roman proportion, Byzantine gold, Ottoman ornament. We do not reproduce the past — we continue it, and call it the Istanbul School of Luxury.

Savoir-faire

The atelier

Behind a plain door in Istanbul, one family has kept the slow disciplines alive since 1974 — the carvers who draw an acanthus leaf with a gouge, the gilders who lay gold leaf by breath, the upholsterers who fit chenille without a single crease. Nothing leaves the atelier until the Maestro has seen it.
