The treasure-filled cave over which he presides is filled with “Cultural objects” from the shiniest Czar-era Russian samovars to copper water-pitchers, plates, trays and bowls worn by years of use.

He has become so well-known amongst the expatriate community in İstanbul that he is frequently asked to give lectures about metalwork and has been written about in many newspapers and magazine articles.(see Press Reviews)
