Unique Custom Floorcloths

Floorcloths, also known as “oylcloths,” date back to 15th century France, where canvas tapestries were used to cover cold stone floors. The designs often mimicked tile and marble flooring. The basics of a floorcloth haven’t changed much since.

Canvasworks starts with the heaviest canvas available (#4 – 24 oz. per square yard) and prepares the surface so it is ready for painting. The intricate design is applied in layers of washes, building up to fine details. When complete, the floorcloth is sealed with a durable finish that is tough enough to withstand dogs, kids and furniture, but can be easily cleaned with a damp mop.

Backed by over 20 years of experience, Lisa Curry Mair has specialized in creating large, artistic floorcloths in a traditional style. The highly intricate, one-of-a-kind pieces of art for the floor can incorporate historic patterns, local landscapes or personal touches, such as special people and animals.
