Hello Artsies! One thing I noticed when guests come over is their attention to the unique pieces in which they find my house. If you like to entertain, eye-grabbing pieces are for sure the best conversation starters. Although I had some small decorative pieces such as small greek statues, jewelry boxes, and lanterns lying around in my room before moving out of my parents’ house, I felt like I needed some more to fill up my new space. I spent much time in Ankara streets and countless conversations with friends & family members on where to find uncommon objects. Luckily, you do not have to spend that much effort, because if you are struggling to find unique home items in Ankara, today’s post where I visited Ayranc\u0131 Antika Pazar\u0131, TAS\u0130\u015e, Serkan Antik and \u0130tfaiye Meydan\u0131, will be your remedy!<\/p>\n

Since 2009, Ayranc\u0131 Antique Marketplace (Turkish: Ayranc\u0131 Antika Pazar\u0131),  is established on the first Sunday of every month in Ayranc\u0131 Market<\/a>.  On carefully put together market stalls, you can find many precious and rare antiquities that have survived test of time awaiting their new owners. In the market, if you get the sense that everyone knows each another, you are completely right. It is very likely to see similar faces in the market every month. Depending on the seller, items are gathered from Turkey, as well as all around the globe! Each stall has a story that smells like history. However, they all share a common ground, their age<\/a>. The bazaar has set a limit for the age of the products, so the youngest item you can find is 20 years old. While looking around, I even found a piece that was more than 200 years old! When asked about the sales, a stall owner in the market, Bayram \u00d6ncel (60) states, “I am in the antiquities business since 40 years, I want to see the interest coming from the younger generation. The bazaar needs more fresh faces.” You can access marketplace’s website by clicking here<\/a> (TR).  Since it gets crowded, while you are there, keep an eye on your belongings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
