Travelling in Turkey by Gregory Kimble 13 October 2002
"In Istanbul, don't miss Galelri Sirvan, Kesiciler
Cadesi 55-57, in the Grand Bazaar. The owner is Erol
Kazanci, the dean of Turkish rug dealers. Erol maintains
a superb supply of relatively high-end pieces. He doesn't
bargain very much. We've bought several of our best rugs
from him; and paid prices that were high, but fair
considering quality."

Carpets have been my main obsession in Turkey, and there
are several dealers worthy of note, both in Ankara and
Istanbul. Gallery Shirvan in Istanbul's Kapalicarsi
(Grand Bazaar) undoubtedly has some of the finest
Oriental carpets and kilims anywhere in Turkey.
Proprietor Erol Kazanci is particularly knowledgeable in
his field and has lectured on antique rugs at the Textile
Museum in Washington, D.C. Always willing to lend a
helping hand in the tough decisions involved in
carpet-buying, Erol has an uncanny knack for knowing
exactly what it is that will please you and can assist
you in English, German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and
Italian as well as a bit of French, and of course,
Turkish. http://www.turkishdailynews.com/past_probe/10_01_00/Leisure.htm
