What do you do when you have TWO houses full of antiques and beautiful objets? This little conundrum has been solved by Mehdi Msefer, who has recently opened his new shop, Boutique Numero 1, in Batha.
The shop stocks ceramics, brassware, furniture, carpets, hendiras, jewellery and clothing such as caftans, djellabas, scarves and belts. Mehdi tells us that he has over 700 Berber carpets, and they are of particularly high quality.
