I have been wanting to visit your shop for 20 years. I have a collection of objects I have picked up in my travels, ie: Egypt, Middle East, Turkey. My birthday was last weekend and I traveled over two hundred miles to celebrate with purchasing something from the shop. When I walked in there were no customers @ the counter. A woman was re-organizing carpets. I asked about the shop. She basically ignored me. She went up to the counter to take care of some purchases from another customer. I wandered around and found a vintage Uzbek Ikat caftan on the top floor. I had been looking for one for many years. It was just what I wanted. I didn't want to take it down the stairs to the counter because of the signs stating they were vintage. I also want to ask questions before I made the purchase. May I also state I am disabled and use a stick for stability. I was totally ignored. The woman said she would be with me after "making a phone call to a friend". I had already been in the shop for 3/4 of an hour. I had been will to spend whatever it took to purchased a caftan in fairly good condition. What a rude saleswoman. Just because I was dressed in casual clothes, doesn't mean I don't have money. A real disappointment after waiting so many years, and cannot travel abroad due to my health. NO WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS. They might have nice, interesting items for sale. But, who wants to be ignored!
