What is a Floorcloth

A floorcloth is a hand-painted canvas rug that is treated to last a long time. The popularity of painted canvas rugs dates back to the time when earlier Europeans settled in America. They were in vogue throughout the 18th and 19th centuries but were gradually replaced by synthetic floor coverings. However, with the revival of interest in handcrafted things for home decoration, the floorcloth has made a grand comeback. Floorcloths not only protect the surface they cover but also add color, character, grace and style to the decor. Since floorcloths are handcrafted, no two floorcloths are similar, even if they have been made using the same design. Each piece individually created to suite ones taste.
