Measure the intended floor area before ordering. Leave enough clear space around the mat so its circular outline remains visible and doors or nearby furniture can move freely.

About Bruegel’s The Fall of the Rebel Angels

Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted The Fall of the Rebel Angels in 1562. The original oil-on-oak panel is held by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels. It shows Archangel Michael and the loyal angels expelling the rebels from heaven while the falling figures transform into demons made from animals, insects, shells, armor, weapons and scientific objects.

Michael remains ordered near the center while the lower figures become increasingly crowded, inverted and difficult to classify. The circular mat concentrates this motion into a compact central composition.

Meaning and Symbolism

• Archangel Michael: divine order, protection and victory.
• The seven-headed dragon: the apocalyptic enemy associated with Revelation 12.
• Falling angels: loss of position, direction and stable identity.
• Hybrid demons: spiritual disorder made visible through impossible combinations.
• Animals, shells and instruments: sixteenth-century curiosity, collecting and the limits of classification.

Materials and Everyday Features

• Polyester surface: suitable for detailed digital printing and regular indoor use.
• Non-slip backing: helps improve grip on a clean, dry floor.
• 0.6 cm thickness: a low-profile format for indoor rooms.
• Foldable construction: practical for transport and temporary storage.
• Five diameters: options for small accents and larger statement areas.

Grip can vary with the floor material, dust and moisture. Place the mat on a clean, dry surface and make sure it lies flat before use.

How to Style the Round Mat

The round shape works well beneath a reading chair, in the center of a seating arrangement, beside a bed or as a focused entryway accent. Pair it with dark wood, black metal, antique brass, burgundy, forest green, warm grey or deep blue. Simple nearby textiles help the dense Bruegel image remain the main visual focus.

Care and Storage

• Shake out or vacuum gently and regularly.
• Keep the mat dry during normal use.
• Spot clean carefully with mild soap and minimal water when needed.
• Avoid bleach, strong chemical cleaners and abrasive brushes.
• Store flat or rolled in a clean, dry place.

Packaging and Temporary Creases

The mat may be folded for transport. Light creases can appear after unpacking. Lay it flat on a clean surface and allow the material to relax naturally before final placement. Avoid placing heavy furniture on raised folds until the mat has settled.
