Antique shops Route de la soie

Along Attarine Street, and in the side streets, take the time to linger in the antique and second-hand shops. Sometimes, you can find unusual and amusing objects that you absolutely must negotiate, it is a tradition here. Most of the time, real Art Deco and Art Nouveau objects are priceless: "nouveau riche", Cairo or Saudi clientele, shops paying more than the price, antique dealers will never lower their prices for a Westerner, even if he is seasoned. Very interesting walk.

This small store specialises in wood products, including a large selection of trunks. Not really practical to transport, but the look is worth it, because there are also small boxes, chess games, mirrors…

Very friendly.

For all tastes and prices.

A serious competitor from Orient House. Fabrics, brass, jewellery, antiques…

This gallery offers a wide selection of elegant sculptures of marble and furniture (bushes, semi-precious tables, columns, all kinds of decorations and antiques reproductions). If you are planning to decorate your house like a Roman villa, you will find some ideas in this specialized gallery.

You won't make a trip to Athens without passing by Monastiraki... or without stumbling upon it. Or rather dive in. Once a Turkish bazaar, this flea market is now overrun with classic and modern stores. When you move away from the main street, you still discover a multitude of small stalls selling old decorative or utilitarian objects, chairs, tables, but also clothes or old books. The flea market is also called Gioussouroum, in reference to the name of the first antique dealer who had his store on the square.

On the back of Palazzo Grassi, this antique dealer of quality offers a selection of Venetian furniture, found in the attic of the palaces of the lagoon. There are sculptures made of stone and well-built and authentic wood, chests, writing desks and small tables, paintings by old Masters and books that can not displease to connoisseurs.

A collective of 9 passionate second-hand dealers are reviving a district that has long been renowned for its antique dealers in Marseille. An immense space of more than 500 ^m2 entirely dedicated to hunting, with a beautiful meeting between antique dealers already present on the site for a long time and new arrivals, some of whom have operated for about twenty years on the side of Les Arnavaux. The place is pleasant, destined to become a regional or even national reference. There are 20th century furniture, vintage, kitsch and rare decorative objects, all in a truly original conviviality. A café restaurant is present, Mademoiselle Fifi, to enhance your trips. Unpacking on the ^1st Sunday of the month.

A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1957, Mr. Nurhan Acun works in silver and copper. He made copies of the motifs from Anatolian civilizations. There are his own creations but also works by other craftsmen. He has worked for many museums and his small shop is ideally located and full of treasures. It is a real institution that has been resisting for 35 years in this lively district of Beyoğlu, where real small craft shops are becoming increasingly rare. Come by and have a look!

On the banks of the Tiber at the level of the Milvio bridge and up to the Duca d'Aosta bridge, the Mercatino di Ponte Milvio is a sort of flea market where you can find some interesting items, period objects that will particularly appeal to collectors and lovers of old-fashioned crafts. The setting of the market, between river and greenery, is very suggestive. A fun way to discover this area of Rome that is not very popular with tourists, but is nevertheless very pleasant.

One step in this timeless store, created 40 years ago, and it's a direct, non-stop trip to a world apart. A real Ali Baba's cave filled with old toys, cars and, of course, dolls. Everything is so precious, so beautiful, as if suspended in time, that the toys become decorative objects. They are the link to a forgotten childhood or to lost ancestors. This trip back in time has a price if you want to take it home. But it is always possible, by rummaging through the bric-a-brac, to find a small object, a little wink that will take place in the heart and in the house.

Managed by Mr. Erkal Aksöy, it is certainly the most beautiful store in the whole Antique district. The whole building is decorated with furniture and objects for sale, placed as if someone lived there. The cellar is filled with wines, fruits are laid out on the tables, smells of little cookies are coming from the kitchen. The garden is full of flowers and a cat is asleep in the sun. There is nothing that looks like an antique store. There is a wide range of rugs and kilims. Mr. Erkal and his assistant Serkan speak English. To discover.

The building that houses the antique market was built in 1982. It has 4 floors and nearly 77 shops, its total surface area is 6,000 ^m2. It is a paradise for lovers of Ottoman antiques, you will find all kinds of chandeliers, porcelain pieces, carpets, glassware and other paintings. Many rooms are overpriced, but you can get an idea of the objects and furniture that were in the palaces during the Ottoman period.

This gallery, founded in 1930, is a reference for antiquities. Furniture, sculptures, mosaics, cameos, marbles, bronzes and paintings from the medieval to the neoclassical period are presented on two floors in a magnificent space with an inner courtyard. This gallery has contributed to the development of many private art collections and sometimes organizes exhibitions. The entrance is sober and in no way suggests the beauty and artistic opulence of its interior.
