Yaz Vintage handles the props, set dressing and period accessories side of international productions shooting in Istanbul. Our archive in Şişli holds vintage furniture, lighting, mirrors, decorative objects, kitchenware, office pieces and ephemera, mainly from the 1950s to the 2000s, for film, TV, commercials, music videos and photo shoots. If you are looking for a vintage prop house in Istanbul for a shoot in Turkey, the whole rental archive is online in one searchable catalogue.
A searchable prop catalogue, piece by piece
Every rental piece has its own page with photos, category, colour, material and dimensions where known. Art departments and set decorators can search the online rental catalogue, build a shortlist and send it by WhatsApp or email. A private project page opens for your production: share the link with the production designer, follow the quote there and download the prop list as a PDF.
Period looks from the archive
The archive covers mid-century to early-2000s interiors: 1950s and 1960s mid-century modern furniture, 1970s and 1980s period living rooms and offices, period kitchens and tableware, CRT televisions, radios and rotary telephones, and the everyday objects that make a home, office or shop of those decades believable on camera. Pieces can be hired one by one as hero props or combined for full set dressing.
