Gimli Standing Round Rug - Lord of the Rings Chair Mat

A red-bearded dwarf in a riveted helm stands in a lamplit stone hall, both hands resting on the haft of a double-bladed axe. This Lord of the Rings round rug lays the scene out for the circle, with Gimli at the center and three rings of mountains, anvils, axes and cut gems wrapping around him.

A circle suits a figure like this. It softens the corners of a square room, gives a reading nook a clear center and keeps the portrait from being clipped by furniture edges. Slide it beneath a desk and it becomes a chair mat with a guardian standing watch.

The Design: Gems, Gold and Stone

The artwork reads like an illuminated manuscript pressed into a medallion. Gimli's copper beard is braided with metal clasps, his mail shirt is stitched with gold knotwork, and a rust-red cape hangs behind him. Tall gray arches frame glowing amber lanterns and a few pale stars at his back. Around that, a brick-red ring of arched frames alternates snowy peaks, anvils, lanterns and flame-filled pendants, and an outer band of deep forest green carries axes, rubies, emeralds and eight-pointed gold stars on curling vines. Warm metal against cool stone is the whole trick. Fans who like this mountain-hall mood can compare palettes across other Lord of the Rings rugs in the shop.

Gimli on the Floor

The rug is cut in a true circle, so the border rings stay even all the way around. The surface is a soft plush low-pile that feels good underfoot, and the rubber backing is non-slip, gripping hardwood, tile and laminate. When it gets dusty or a drink goes over, it is machine washable on a gentle cold cycle, then air-dry. The dye-sublimation print sets the colors into the fibers, so the greens, rubies and gold stay deep. Drop it into a den and it becomes a gaming room rug with real character. At 160 or 180 cm it also works as a round area rug in the middle of a living room.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available, from 80 cm (31.5″) through 100, 120, 140 and 160 cm up to 180 cm (70.9″). The 80 and 100 cm sizes sit under a desk chair or beside a bed, and they double as an accent rug near a bookshelf. The 120 and 140 cm sizes fill a reading nook or a kid's corner. The 160 and 180 cm sizes anchor a seating area, with the dwarf right at the center of the circle.

Standart Level is solid everyday quality. Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing, a sensible pick for a chair that rolls over the rug every day.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and let it air-dry; the printed colors are set into the fibers, so the gold and green keep their depth.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips hardwood, tile and laminate, so the circle stays put when a chair glides across it.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, it lies flat over low-pile carpet. A hall of dwarven stone can sit in a carpeted study just as happily.

Which size should I choose?

For a desk or bedside, 80 or 100 cm shows the whole portrait in a small footprint. For a seating area, go to 160 or 180 cm so all three rings have room to be seen.
