Description   Historic Reproduction Floor Cloth 7ft. x 9ft.   Floor Cloths were used as the primary floor covering in America from the late 1700's to the mid 1800's. These hand painted canvas rugs were prized for their beauty, durability and easy care. They were originally known as a poor man's carpet, but have now evolved into fine art for the floor. My floor cloths are made on a heavy 16 oz. cotton canvas with a non-skid backing. They are primed with two coats of Gesso, hand painted with colors that were common in the Colonial America era. An antiquing glaze is applied to get an immediate aged effect, and then 5 coats of satin polycrylic is applied. They are hearty, can stand up to heavy traffic, and be moved easily from room to room. Unlike rugs, floor cloths don't hold in dust and are perfect for people with alergies. They are ideal for kitchens, entryways, mudrooms, dining rooms, laundry rooms, foyers and kid's rooms because spills wipe up easily with a damp cloth. Their vibrant colors make they perfect to use as a wall hanging also. The floor cloth in this listing is a large 7'x9'. The center is a classic diamond motif, one of the older floor cloth designs on record, done in heritage brick (a muted brownish red), with a Colonial Cream background and black borders made with an authentic Moses Eaton New England Collection stencil (circa 1800-1840), also done in Colonial Cream.  This floorcloth is made to order, so please allow up to 3 weeks for shipping.
