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

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. |
