From the depths of the store wafted a spicy flowery aroma, which penetrated deep into my clothing, hair and skin leaving a subtle trail following behind for days after. I closed my eyes and breathed in the pungent heady fragrance before even entering the store. From the doorway, streaks of bright delicate yellow lighting dangled from the ceiling, exposing a treasure chest of glorious silken Persian rugs.
The store was narrow, maybe 12 feet at the widest point and deep. A door, beautifully sculpted and shaped like an image from an Ali Baba story, stood seductively hidden at the rear wall by an earthy red curtain draped over the top edge of the door. As space was a premium in the store confines, practically every inch of wall, corner and floor space was utilized in the display of merchandise.
A small 30 X 18 inch silken rug, glistening in deep cobalt blue, its smooth texture as soft as oil hung at eye level from the wall just inside the door. The keeper of the shop was a middle-aged man wearing western clothes and sporting a wiry lightly graying moustache with a tanned deeply lined complexion. The exquisite depth of color in that small rug, magnetized my gaze and immediately I heard the Kuwaiti accented English voice announce a price. ‘28 Dinar“, approximately $84 US dollars. I have always regretted it but as this was the first stop on the tour of downtown Kuwait City; I decided to try my luck further on.
