About
Denizalp Demir
I am an antiques dealer and architecture student based in Turkey, combining my passion for historical decorative arts with a deep understanding of design and craftsmanship.
As the founder and curator of Demir Antiques, I have sold over 258 pieces to collectors across 25 countries, maintaining 100% positive feedback. My specializations span European porcelain, Oriental rugs and kelims, antique silver, and art glass.
Beyond dealing, I am passionate about research and writing — publishing articles on the history and craftsmanship behind notable pieces and manufacturers in the decorative arts world.
