1:48 scale Heriz rug, circa 1880

Needlepoint design by Anna-Carin Betzén, based on a full-scale rug

This rug is stitched with DMC floss on 48 count silk gauze, and measures 29×51 mm (1 1/8"×2"), plus fringe.

I based it on a huge full-scale rug, but scaled it down significantly. Stitched on a really small count, it could be used in a large 1:144 scale room.
