Established in 1976, SOFA has become, through love and hard work, one of the outstanding “antique” dealers of the art scene in Istanbul.

SOFA’s aim has always been to present a selected, unique wide range of engravings and other print media; jewelry; glass, gold- and silverware; miniatures and calligraphy; tiles, ceramics and mosaics; paintings; reproductions; seals; textiles, embroidery and needlework to a global clientele.

The evaluation to which SOFA’s offers are subjected originate from the purchaser’s understanding of esthetics and to local culture and demand. In an extended sense, the art lover’s views inevitably undergo a change. He develops a deeper insight into the epoch of the art object and its creator. Triggering such a process is an objective SOFA has always held high.
