One of the founders of the Arts and Crafts movement, William Morris (British, 1834–1896) designed beautiful, handcrafted household objects that elevated decorative pieces to the realm of fine art. Using nature for his inspiration, Morris sought to "turn a room into a bower, a refuge." The English countryside, with its hedgerows and native field and garden flowers, served as his touchstone and is reminiscent in the carpet from the Museum's collection on which this design is based.

Using this for miniature dollhouse decorating ... yes, it is a bit thick but all is forgiven because of the beautiful pattern and the fringe (uncommon for mini rugs in this price range). Unless you’re comparing to handmade, silk needlepoint creations which are VERY expensive, this rug is much better than anything in this price range.
I ordered to use in my dollhouse bc I needed a William Morris style rug. Works perfectly--is raised about 1/8th inch bc of the rubber backing but should be fine. Works great as a mouse pad too!
I purchased my first Mouse rug 2 years ago on a visit to NYC. Upon my return home, I was annoyed that I hadn't purchased a few more. Now that I've ordered and received 2 more different ones, I have one beside the bed and one on each desk in the office. Because they are rubber backed they don't slip. I use the matching coasters and the dampness of my mug doesn't go through to the table. The mouse rugs are miniature rugs and the detail is amazing. I am so happy I found them and I recommend them wholeheartedly.
This is a really neat concept, and I'm disappointed, but I cannot use the mouse rug with my wireless magic mouse. My husband tried it with his at work, tried various adjustments, but got the same result. We cannot get smooth mouse tracking. I also gave one to my sister, and hers works fine with a traditional mouse.
