ABOUT

A floorcloth is essentially a painted rug and part of the American folk art tradition.    Early American floorcloths were made from canvas sails, painted, varnished, and often covered the not-so-well-to-do colonial floors. They are still quite popular in New England and have been around for centuries.

 

Why a FloraCloth?

Besides the satisfaction of owning a finely crafted, one of a kind work of art, you bring  a bit of nature and the beauty of the forests into your home or vacation retreat.

  • Easy to clean – sponge with mild soap and water

  • Allergen free – will not collect dust, pet hair or dander
  • Fade resistant – painted with exterior latex formulated to resist UV damage
