Hit of the Month

Ahırkapı Meraklı Pazarı

You’re known as a magpie: swooping by and grabbing the best before those vultures beat you to it. Here’s a piece to wet your appetite: A dozen designers and affordable antique and contemporary art dealers have come together to create the Ahırkapı Meraklı Pazarı starting this Sunday. Part flea market, part curiosity bazaar often seen in Paris, London and the like, it promises to be a sugar fix for the ultimate decorati. Pick up an authentic Komet painting from Fazıl Seyhanlı & Partners; mingle with rare books offered at Librairie de Pera stand; or spend time finding the perfect print from among vintage photography and quirky stationery from Mas Matbaası. There’s also handmade clothing, furniture, jewellery, ceramics, vintage furniture, retro house furnishings and cute knitware offered at mouth-watering prices, all to be enjoyed with delicious food and wine courtesy of Armada Otel set in Ahırkapı in historical peninsula, (the ‘next Galata’, we think). Almost like hitting two birds with one stone. Ahırkapı Meraklı Pazarı starts on Sun., 21 Dec. at 1 p.m., and runs through to 6 p.m. everyday until Wed., 31 Dec., re-opening between Fri., 3 Jan.-Sun., 1 Feb., 2009 (weekends only).
