Despite the low quantity of rugs produced, they are viewed as some of the most intricately designed and highest quality rugs on the market.

Ancient Egypt artifact recovery digs have found hand looms that date back to 2400 B.C. However, contemporary Egypt weaving styles stem from a much more recent design era.

You must avoid plants that have yellowish leaves, wilted foliage, brownish leaf margins, and those that bear spots and blotches. You must make sure that you do not purchase plants with leaves that are torn or have been polished with leaf shines.
