Production of silk rugs are demonstrated. Below is a quote from that explains the sales process:

Quote start: "Seeing the workers weave the silk rugs was interesting (above) and I wondered as I watched how they cut the excess thread off so evenly after each knot was tied. I was surprised to see them take a pair of scissors (top right) and just cut them in a straight line across the width of the rug. The factory showroom had many beautiful handmade silk rugs for sale varying in size from a few feet to room size and prices from very cheap to super expensive. Anne and I were perfectly fine walking around the showroom and looking at the various pieces, that is, until we expressed an interest in one rug. From that time forward the sales girl just wouldn't leave us alone. She was determined to sell us that rug no matter what the costs. I had really gotten to the point where I was fed up with all the high-pressure tactics and several times had walked away from them expressing that I was no longer interested. They kept coming back with lower counter offers and, finally, as we were about to leave they met the price I had originally wanted. That price was approximately 1/4 of what the first quoted price was. I was happy that we got the rug for what I consider a reasonable price, but unhappy at the whole process. Quote Ending
