Our witty and popular patterned mini rugs offer a fun and elegant way to cushion hot or cold drinks and make great gifts. The soft, luxurious flocked surface is durable and completely colorfast, while the natural rubber backing helps protect furniture. These assorted coasters are based on four beautiful wool and silk carpets in The Met collection. Dating from the 14th to the 19th century, the original rugs are from Northern India, Turkey, and Northwestern Iran or Caucasus. The collection of Islamic art at The Met reflects the great diversity and range of Islamic culture and includes some of the finest Islamic carpets in existence.
