Everybody asks, “Can you really walk on it?” It may sound strange, but painted floorcloths wear like iron. A floorcloth is a water resistant rug that is somewhat flexible and will conform to the surface of the floor. Although they are made of simple materials…canvas, paints and sealant, a well-constructed floorcloth will provide years of pleasure and hold up to substantial use.
What is it?
A painted floorcloth was made of heavy canvas that had been stretched and sized, then troweled with oil paint and finished with block printing, stenciling, or hand painting.
