Gallery Antique

I came this evening to buy something for my family in Italy ( Rome ).

The owner of the shop was very friendly, he spokes well english. Prices are right, there is something expensive and something chip so you find what you want.

Recomended because in Istanbul sultanahmet there are only turistic shop...this shop was more authentic than the others .

See you next time in Istanbul.

Best regards from Italy.

I reside in Karachi, Pakistan. My brother recently visited Istanbol and brought a beautiful piece of and painted calligraphy on a leaf. It is extremely intricate and carefully done work of art. So happy to have it. Will definitely visit this outlet whenever I will visit Istanbol.

in front of starbucks, nice selection of artworks and very informed owner of the shop, they also have online shop.

I would recommend the dancing dervish
Most interesting shop I have ever been to

Sultaahmet Divanyolu cad no 17 deki Galeri Antik benim en sevdiğim mekanlardan biri .Yerli ve yabancı bir çok insanın da aynı duyguları paylaştığına eminim.Dükkan adeta küçük bir müze.Minyatürleri incelemek bile başlıbaşına bir keyif.Müşteriler sanata ilgi duyan aydın insanlar.Dükkan sahibi güler yüzlü sizi adeta aileden biri gibi karşılıyor. Fiyatlar makul .İkram edilen sıcacık çayı içerken koyu bir sohbete dalıp vaktin nasıl geçtiğini anlamıyorum.Mutlaka ziyaret edilmesi gereken sevimli bir yer.

Tarihi İstanbul yarımadasının gözde semtlerinden Sultanahmet'te bulunan bu sevimli dükkan beni adeta büyüledi. Eski Osmanlı sanat dünyasında adeta bir yolculuğa çıktım
Levni Matrakçı Nasuh gibi büyük ustaların minyatürlerinin hat sanatının meşhur örneklerinin röprodüksiyonları karşımda duruyordu.Osmanlıda yaşayan gayri müslimlerin kültürlerini anlatan eserler de yer alıyordu.Ayrıca dünyaca ünlü İran minyatürleri vardı.Bence hediyelik farklı şeyler almak keyifli zaman geçirmek için uğranılması gereken bir mekan

Fevkalade ozenli ve estetik dizaynfa mistik bir havasi var insani cok eski istanbula tarihi yatimafa nin tam hakkina goturuyor sahibi ise kibarmi kibar nazikmi naziiik sekermi seker tatlimi tatli sanki icinde bir bulut sakli guldurmeden birakmaz icerde musteri degil bir aileden kardesi gibi hissettim

Eski osmanlı eserlerinin replikaları osmanlı hat sanatı minyatür bir numara olan iran minyatürleri görünmeye değer sanat harikaları var gördüm hayran kaldım avrupalı turistlerin çok hoşuna gittiği bir dükkan dükkanda karşılaştığım turistlere siz bu konuları nerden bildiğini sorduğumda türkiye gelmeden önce turkiye hakkında araştırma yapıyoruz dediler görülmeye değer bir dükkan

Un petit musée aux milieu d'Istanbul, des tableaux magnifiques réalisés à la mains

رائع

Vlasnik nevoli da mu slikate eksponate ili da se zadrzavate gledajuci. Ljepe slike i minijature ali vlasnik je smor

Many interesting maps and documents, but for some incomprehensible reason the owner has decided to pad his collection with museum prints of Indian miniatures that have been pasted on to random pages torn out of an old edition of Allama Iqbal's Urdu poetry collection. The two items have no meaningful connection and many of the combinations are absolutely hilarious juxtapositions of verses from the poem "shikwah" with scenes of harem beauties and bathing parties (neither item is really "antique"..allama's book being from the early 20th century and the miniatures being the sort you can buy in Lahore's museum shop). He has also gone ahead and framed random pages from the same Allama Iqbal book into good looking frames...if one cannot read Urdu/Persian, one can imagine these are antique Turkish manuscripts, but otherwise their significance escapes me. When I pointed to these and shared a laugh with my wife the owner became rather irritable...and when i tried to take a picture, he asked us to leave. Makes one think, are the other "antique manuscripts" equally fake?

The owner was so rude. We were looking at the art outside the store and intending to buy. He came out clearly not wanting to sell to us, shouted at us and told us he was closed (though timings on the door said open) slammed the door shut and locked it. Not the best way to run a business! Given previous reviews not sure why he’s allowed to carry on in that way giving tourists a bad view of Istanbul

Old man in the shop needs to know how greet people and not to push someone to buy. A class of politeness and rage management could be of use also. Don't visit and don't buy.

By the far the most unpleasant experience I’ve had going into a shop anywhere and spending 5 minutes. I was admiring a few prints and asked the owner (I presume) if it was safe to transport by rolling the prints.

He all but yelled at us that we weren’t “real customers” because if we were, we wouldn’t ask about packaging before looking and purchasing something first. He then told us “nothing is made in China” and asked my husband if he’s Indian or Pakistani (he’s not either). He then told us “not real customers, goodbye”. The conversation direction and behavior insinuated racism, unfounded elitism, and overall was unpleasant. Do yourself a favor and visit many of the other beautiful antique shops in this city and don’t support this business.
