Having?

Hi there,

Having mostly French and British antique furniture, Mecidiyeköy Antiques Bazaar has been serving antique lovers since the beginning of the 1980s.

What does "having" mean above? I think it is similar to "because they have..." but I'm not so sure.

It does not mean "because." It means that their inventory consists of mostly antique furniture. (That's what they have in their store.)

Thank you.

Can we rephrase it this way?
