As the name implies, this store in Second Life sells items with an Arabian theme. The store set-up is pretty typical—walk up one aisle and down another with items for sale on both sides—but that’s where the commonplace ends.
The first things that caught my eye were the decanter and glass sets. The textures were resplendent, the attention to detail meticulous. I was entranced, and I’d only barely come through the front door.
And the amazement certainly didn’t end there.
Lush, rich, exquisite—these were all adjectives that applied to the wares I saw for sale: beds (some with interesting animations), furniture sets, hookas, wall hangings, mirrors, tents, rugs, cabinets…even a flying carpet!
Just look at the detail in the image below—not only on the cabinet, but also on the vase of flowers, the rugs, and the lace table covering.
A good selection of furniture sets were available to choose from that featured not just sofas and chairs, but also end tables, coffee tables, and lamps, all coordinated. M and F poses were included, along with some non-gender-specific ones. You can pick individual pieces, or buy entire sets.
There were also some nontraditional furniture choices (and animations) for the more exotic-minded. The item below is not your grandmother’s sofa.
A doorway on the right-hand wall toward the back of the store took me outside where a variety of tents were for sale, and taking the stairs in the center of the store led me to their Aladdin fantasy items, including pavilions and a flying carpet.
Items tended to be prim-heavy, but some of that is understandable given the attention to detail. Prices were reasonable. (I would’ve like to have seen an option to turn on and off the bling, though.)
Overall, this is a wonderfully thematic store with gorgeous wares. Even if your own home is not decorated with a Middle Eastern flair, adding a choice piece or two from this store will enliven any decor.
