Crafting the Art of Meerschaum: The Altınay Legacy

At Altınay, we don’t just craft meerschaum pipes; we create heirlooms. Founded in 1964 by Necdet Altınay, a master carver with a passion for the timeless beauty of meerschaum, our journey is steeped in generations of dedication and craftsmanship.
A Legacy of Excellence

Necdet’s journey began at a young age, apprenticing under renowned masters and honing his skills in all facets of meerschaum pipe carving. Recognizing a gap in the market for truly classical meerschaum pipes, he established Altınay, focusing on elegant designs that embodied the essence of the craft.

His commitment to quality and customer satisfaction resonated deeply, propelling Altınay to become a sought-after brand worldwide.
Today, Necdet’s legacy lives on through his son, Nedim, and grandson, Said. Together, they carry the torch of excellence, infusing each creation with the same meticulous attention to detail and dedication to using only the finest meerschaum blocks
