Compose a short description of a depressing scene inside a shop with furs and hides.

The smell of curing hides clings to the air, cloying the nostrils with a heavy unpleasant smell of decayed animal flesh. A thick cord draped with various furs extends from one end of the room to the other, acting as a makeshift curtain that leads to the back room. The shop owner Vandorf tends to his furs, stopping every so often to acknowledge customers that walk in to do business.
