Bulent Bolgan spent his youth learning the custom furniture manufacturing business from his father in Turkey. In 1982 he started his own furniture business incorporating lessons learned from his father and his love of beautiful handmade furniture and accessories.

In 1993, while traveling around the world, Bulent discovered Sarasota, Florida and understood immediately the diverse styles and discerning taste which made this west coast city a perfect location for European Traditions.

“We design and manufacture a full range of solid hardwood furniture in our family owned factory in Turkey. Our distinctive one-of-a-kind designs are custom made by craftsmen using reclaimed pine, cherry or walnut.

We take great pride in providing extremely competitive prices while creating one-of-a-kind heirloom furniture of the finest quality.”
