What's the white powder under my rug??

Do you have a hand-tufted rug? Did you notice that there was white powder under it? The white powder under your rug is latex, and its powdery mess is a common occurrence with hand-tufted rugs. Hand-tufted rugs are constructed from different parts that are "glued" together. There is a canvas with the design mapped out that the wool strands are inserted into using a tufting gun. This is a quick and cheap way of making a plush rug with amazing colours and endless design possibilities. The industry still calls it and sells it as "handmade", but it's a far cry from the hand-knotted rugs, which are really constructed by tying each individual knot by hand.

Cogwheel Mirrors from Mercana

I wonder how these cogwheel mirrors look with my Clockwork wallpapers? Would it be too much of the same motif?
