LET'S TALK ABOUT FLOORCLOTHS!
We are adding a new addition to our shop. These are recreations of ORIGINAL design antique floorcloths from colonial America. Floorcloths were used to warm drafty floors, to use as a rug that was easy to clean in a busy farmhouse. Many early paintings show a floorcloth in the background. Made of heavy canvas, and painted with a variety of designs, these lasted for years. I started using them in my home years back on my floors but also on my table to use in place of placemats! One long floorcloth runs the length of my table! ALL my floorcloths are from original Historic design. They are all hand painted, with seven coats of non shiny polyurethane over that, to give you YEARS + of use. A damp cloth is all that is needed to wipe these clean. GREAT to use at the doorway, on a table or floor. These ship very easily.
Floorcloth: From the BENJAMIN PIERCE HOMESTEAD, HILLSBOROUGH, N.H. CIRCA 1740-1840
Size: 3 ft x 3 ft
Floorcloth: From the HISTORIC MAY HOUSE, WOODSTOCK, CONN. CIRCA 1740 1840
