Melrose

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.
