This is a classic checkerboard design often used in traditional floorcloth making.  The squares can be sized to perfectly fit the desired floorcloth footprint. Black and white are a common color combination, but any set of colors that work for the surroundings can be employed.

This series is based on a classic black-and-white diamond pattern with multiple line borders. The border treatment changes to meet the desired size of each piece, while the diamond size is fixed for each version.  The floorcloths reside in a Philadelphia house, built in 1848 in what now is called Society Hill. No architectural changes have been made to the original 'simple' plans.  

This pattern was chosen by Eidsvoll 1814, Norway's Constitutional Museum, when they were looking for an appropriate floorcloth design for their dining room in preparation for their Bicentennial celebration in 2014.  The pattern is based on a design from Calke Abbey, a historic property in the UK. 

This floorcloth design is based on a pattern sketched by noted historian, William Seale, for the Field House Museum in Missouri.  Stencils were created based on the sketch. 

Alexander Hamilton, the first United States Secretary of the Treasury, a Founding Father, and political philosopher moved into the Hamilton Grange in 1802.

A five-year restoration project was completed in 2011 and as part of this effort, three floorcloths were commissioned by John G. Waite and Associates, the architectural firm working on the restoration. The floorcloth pattern is based on a remnant from the architect’s archives, which followed a John Carwitham design.

This pattern is a classic Harlequin design, with an elongated diamond - often used in traditional floorcloth making. 

This pattern is from John Carwitham's 1739 book, Various Kinds of Floor Decorations.  The pattern was chosen for the entry and back hall of the Bedford House, the main residence at the John Jay Homestead in Katonah, New York, which is currently undergoing renovation. 

John Jay occupied the house from 1801, upon his retirement,  to 1829 when he died.  Of all the Founding Fathers, no other filled so many high offices. John Jay served the State of New York as a principal author of its first constitution in 1777, and as its first Chief Justice. He served the nation as President of the Second Continental Congress, Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain during the Revolutionary War, and Secretary for Foreign Affairs under the Articles of Confederation. He was author and key negotiator, with Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolution. With Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, he wrote the Federalist Papers, arguing for adoption of the United States Constitution. After the ratification of the Constitution, President Washington appointed Jay the first Chief Justice of the United States.

This is a terrific border pattern which has strong geometric leanings and a somewhat whimsical leaf pattern. 

This completely original pattern features a classic repeating diamond array that contains a border with an Early American-style lozenge and honeycomb display, surrounding an organic medallion.  The colorway is reversed on every other diamond.  The pattern is a replica of one of the oldest existing floorcloths in the US (c 1848), residing at Melrose, a National Park location in Natchez, Mississippi.

This is the first Dresser pattern we worked with, clearly seeing how it could be adapted to stencils and how great it would be for a custom floorcloth design. We loved the original Dresser palette and the first piece we made with the pattern, a rather complicated U-Shaped design, employed this colorway. Several additional colorways have been explored as have different shapes, all working beautifully in this versatile design.
