Are you, or is someone you know, obsessed with vintage and antique rugs? Do you admire quality rugs as pieces of art? Would you like your home to be way more stylish than anyone else's?
If you answered 'yes' to any of those questions, then you need a Mouse Rug.
Each Mouse Rug is a miniature copy of a real-life rug. Made with vibrantly colored nylon fibers, these rugs won't fade (with normal use).
Of course, don't limit yourself to using this rug only for your computer mouse! Place it under plants, candleholders, cat food bowls, or anywhere where you might need to protect a surface in a stylish way.
One of the founders of the Arts and Crafts movement, William Morris designed beautiful, handcrafted household objects that elevated decorative pieces to the realm of fine art. The English countryside, with its hedgerows and native field and garden flowers, served as his touchstone and is reminiscent in the carpet from the Metropolitan’s collection on which this design is based.
