A beautiful store and we did purchase a painting that my wife fell in love with. We had the item…read moreauthenticated once back home. It would have been a five star review if the owner had represented the item more accurately as far as exact age and provenance. Still, it's Turkey and for that, it is a great store with loads of items - worth a special trip if you are interested in buying a real antique from not just the Middle East, but also Europe.
