The Silk Medallion rug from which this MouseRug. is adapted belongs to a group of small Safavid silk rugs that are united by their clarity of design, delicate patterns, precise draftsmanship, weave structure, and size. Scholars have generally agreed that the silk carpets and rugs in this group were made in Kashan, an important Persian mercantile center for silk products, during the second half of the sixteenth century.

Although the precise function of the small silk Kashans is unknown, it is doubtful that they were ever intended as floor coverings and may have been bestowed as imperial gifts. The Silk Medallion MouseRug. is inspired by a late 16th century rug, probably from Kashan, Persia, now in the National Gallery of Art.

This MouseRug, made of millions of yarn-dyed micro fibers, automatically works to keep your mouse ball mechanism clean. Can be hand-washed with a mild soap.
