Storyline
For 20 years, Cardo has been running an antiques and sculpture shop that includes international public figures, made of porcelain, silver utensils, and wall clocks.
Cardo’s shop, located in Sulaymaniyah, looks like a museum for visitors, tourists, and collectors of antiques from different regions.
Although he started as an amateur collecting the pieces, he was able to turn his hobby into a business, as he collected pieces from different countries of the world, especially Europe.
Cardo says that the oldest the piece is, the higher its price gets.
Some of the pieces he owns date back to the Victorian era and they are sold at $5 to $700 and more.
