He was a renowned furniture maker for the ottoman court (dolmabahce palace) and later influenced the style and trends during the early republican era (1920's and later). At its peak, psalty had four locations at the pera: tepebasi, galata, tunel and istiklal. the buffet and the liqueur cabinet, both walnut, make up an elegant and functional pair. The cabinet opens up as a bar. Both in mint condition and bearing the stamp "maison psalty constantinople". Both pieces are proud witnesses of an era dominated by western imports. With fewer similar greek furniture remaining in the market, psalty's skills as an artisan are starting to be better appreciated in time.
