Located in the Beykoz district of Istanbul, Yıldız İç ve Dış Ticaret (operating as Yıldız Antik) specializes in the procurement, restoration, and presentation of authentic antique woodwork, historical terracotta vessels, and traditional stone artifacts. Catering to interior designers, collectors, and landscaping enthusiasts, the company transforms historical architectural elements and ethnographic objects into distinctive decorative accents for contemporary spaces.
Antique Timber and Custom Woodwork Solutions
The company maintains a distinguished selection of reclaimed and antique structural timber, primarily focusing on oak, pine, and chestnut. Shaped by natural aging over generations, these woods offer a unique patina and structural resilience. Yıldız İç ve Dış Ticaret offers raw reclaimed timber as well as finished pieces treated through specialized wood distressing (ahşap eskitme) techniques. The wooden portfolio includes:
• Antique oak, seasoned pine, and historical chestnut timbers
• Handcrafted solid wood tables, traditional floor-dining tables (sofra), and dining furniture
• Antique wood flooring and architectural wall paneling solutions
• Traditional household artifacts including carved wooden troughs (tekne), spoon holders (kaşıklık), and decorative bird shelters (kuşluk)
• Antique dowry chests featuring regional carvings and iron hardware
• Rustic outdoor wooden installations tailored for specialized garden architecture
Regional Anatolian Terracotta and Ceramic Vessels
Reflecting Anatolia’s rich pottery tradition, the company showcases a comprehensive assortment of antique storage jars, amphorae, and glazed terracotta containers. Once utilized for preserving olive oil, grains, and wine, these earthenware pieces now serve as striking centerpieces for expansive gardens, courtyards, and luxury interiors. The inventory encompasses:
• Large-scale Enez olive oil storage jars
• Regional glazed jars sourced from Amasya
• Authentic Kınık clay jugs alongside diverse historical pitchers
• Distinctive heavy pottery from Konya, Artvin, and Tokat regions
• Regional wide-mouth terracotta containers (tağar) and middle-region yoz vessels
Historic Stonework, Marble Fixtures, and Agricultural Antiques
In addition to timber and pottery, the company curates hand-carved stone and marble pieces that introduce tactile authenticity into modern environments. Traditional stone and marble mortars (dibek), historically employed for milling grains, are repurposed as architectural garden focal points. The selection also features carved antique stone sinks and basins suitable for rustic or historical bathroom concepts.
Further highlighting traditional agrarian life, the firm supplies collectible ethnographic artifacts such as wooden butter churns (yayık), threshing boards (döven), winnowing forks (yaba), and restored antique horse-drawn carts. Through its comprehensive catalog in Beykoz, Yıldız İç ve Dış Ticaret bridges heritage craftsmanship and timeless interior design.
