MouseRugs are elegant and functional mouse pads that are designed to look and feel like some of the world's most famous rugs.
This is a gift replica of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Shah Jahan Carpet that will be on display as part of their new Islamic collection opening in the fall of 2011. The beauty of this traditional rug design interpreted as a MouseRug®.
The original rug is attributed to Northern India, mid-17th century silk (warp and weft), pashmina wool (pile); asymmetrically knotted pile.
MouseRug surfaces are made with world-patented Lextra® yarn-dyed nylon fiber coating process and they are printed without ink. The quality may be compared to high-wear carpeting construction, although on a much finer scale. The fibers are .75 millimeters long (more than 7 million on each MouseRug). Enjoy the lovely, soft feel and precise mouse tracking (optical OR ball).
The natural rubber base material is made in the U.S.A. from rubber that comes from trees in southeast Asia. Fringed ends of the MouseRugs are custom produced at a textile mill in the Carolinas – the same company making fringe for well-known makers full size rugs.
