hand painted floor cloths

My hand painted floor cloth designs are inspired by the natural environment and contemporary and ethnic textile design and  color combinations. They are painted with acrylic paint and varnish making them incredibly functional and long lasting. High use areas are good places for a hand painted floor cloth such as: in front of your sink, down the hallway, entryway, mud room, powder room,  bedroom, under children's play and eating area,  or under the coffee, kitchen or dining room table. They are great for hypo-allergenic environments. | care and feeding of your canvas floor cloth |

Used as the primary floor covering in America from the mid 1700's to the late 1800's, the oil painted canvas rugs were prized for their beauty, durability and easy care. Hand Painted Floor cloths were listed in the household goods inventory of Presidents Washington, Adams and Jefferson.  Early designs were taken from wall paper patterns, tapestries or woven oriental rug motifs of the old world.
