Xpilar Imagination 2: Visit to a Rendezvous Shop
I am writing this little blog to enter @xpilar imagination competition 2 (two) on today 12/12/2017, this competition remind of events which I witness here some years back.
I came to spend my holiday with a cousin of mine who lived in Lagos State. As I had entered, in an idle mood, the shop of one of those curiosity venders in the city called Lagos, which is so perfectly unintelligible elsewhere in Nigeria. You have doubtless glanced occasionally through the windows of some of these shops, which have become so numerous now that it is fashionable to buy antiquated furniture. There is one thing there which clings alike to the shop of the dealer in old iron, the ware-room of the tapestry maker, the laboratory of the chemist, and the studio of the painter: in all those gloomy dens where a furtive daylight filters in through the window-shutters the most manifestly ancient thing is dust. The cobwebs are more authentic than the gimp laces, and the old pear-tree furniture on exhibition is actually younger than the mahogany which arrived from abroad.
