The Egyptian rug weaving
tradition began all the way
back in the 16th century. The
birth of the handmade carpet
industry in modern Egypt dates
to the Egyptian Revolution in
1952, when the importation of
carpets from Iran ceased.
Egyptian
rugs have always been
famous for their
representation of the art and
culture of Egypt. They were
once divided into 2 weaving
periods (Mamluks and
Ottomans), each with different
styles. Authentic
Egyptian carpets are very
rarely seen
in North America today, yet
the ones that make it over are
delicate, precious, luxurious,
lucrative and all of the
above. The majority of the
older styles were hand woven
in rich textured patterns by
only the finest wool.
Since
each rug was hand woven by a
skilled craftsman, they were
time consuming thus boosting
their value. Today, you can
find machine made styles at
very affordable prices with a
variety of art and themes. The
creative patterns and rich
color combination are accepted
and admire from homeowners
around the world. Our
collection of Egyptian area
rugs are the ideal
candidates for any home or office
setting. Turn your house into
