About Us and Our Products.

INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to the Delta Collection, home of some of Egypt's most distinctive hand-crafted furniture, lamps, personal accessories and perfume bottles. It all began more than 20 years ago in a tiny Cairo warehouse with the manufacture of our extensive line of frameable papyrus art works. Today Delta Collections maintains locations in Germany, Spain, California, Florida and Philadelphia and the company boasts a full catalog of quality products sold worldwide. But we're not just selling merchandise. Delta Collections products are actually pieces of history. The furniture, for example, replicates the French rocco styles of the 1700s and 1800s. And the perfume bottles call to mind ancient Egypt legends which say these hand-blown glass containers were created to collect the tears of people grieving the loss of a Pharaoh. Today, some of these bottles, which were produced as far back as 30 BC, can still be found in the tombs of the pharaohs.As you browse, discriminating retailers will find Delta Collections one-of-a-kind reproductions enable you to offer your customers much more than a chair, wallet, jewelry box or painting.

Our Hand Made and Hand Painted Papyrus Collection:
Grown in Egypt's Nile River delta region, papyrus was used from ancient times for items ranging from ship sails and cords to mats. The most extensive use of this grass was as paper for legal and personal correspondence. Although world-wide use of papyrus basically halted around the 12th century, contemporary artisans have adopted the product as a canvas for a variety of works.
The available selections range from simple renderings of Egyptian royalty to elaborate, full-color scenes from daily life in the ancient world. Among the royalty featured are queens Cleopatra, Nefertiti and Nefertari; a variety of King Tut images, Ramsess II, the Hours Eye, the Winged Maat and the Sphinx.

Papyrus's manufacturing process:
Papyrus is harvested from the banks of the Nile River. The outer skin is removed from the stalk and the inner pith of the plant is cut into long, thin strips. The fibers are broken down by pounding them, then they're soaked in water for three days. Once the pith is clear and pliable, the strips are cut to the appropriate length and laid out on sheets of cotton. The strips are then laid in two layers, one vertical and one horizontal, and placed between two hard, absorbent barriers. Many sheets are stacked on top of each other and placed in a press, where they are squeezed and laid out in the sun to dry. The barriers are replaced every eight ours, and the process continues for three or four days, until the papyri are dry.
