At Niche Décor, an antique shop near Kabarnet Gardens in Nairobi, Rose Karimi saunters into the showroom, answering queries from curious clients.
From the jammed parking lot, it is clear that it is a time of abundance for the city antique collector. “I’ve barely had a break today,” Rose says as she ushers us into the newly stocked shop. “I thought I’d break for tea but that hasn’t been possible.”
