ANTIQUE & ART
A LIvIng CollectIon of TImeless DesIgn
At Hovagimyan Han, the antique and art collection is more than decoration—it’s a curated tribute to the elegance of Art Nouveau and the boldness of Art Deco.
Each piece is hand-picked for its story, meticulously restored, and thoughtfully placed to complement the building’s heritage.
DesIgn That BrIdges Eras
Art Nouveau’s flowing forms and natural motifs meet Art Deco’s sharp geometry, creating a harmony that mirrors Istanbul itself—a city where East meets West and history blends seamlessly with modernity. Designed in the 1910s by Armenian architect Leon Nafilyan, Hovagimyan Han reflects the Art Nouveau movement that defined its era, offering a natural stage for these treasures.
These antiques embody a time when craftsmanship and care were paramount, using natural materials to create objects that endure. Their imperfections and patina tell a tale of resilience, adding character and soul to every piece.
Eco-ConscIous, EndurIngly BeautIful
