A worsted baize, embossed with a bark moiré. This is a drapery and upholstery fabric. It is being used as drapery in Liberty Hall in Frankfort, Kentucky, but we do have some available for sale. It has a deep rich cinnabar color and we have it in two weights: a single baize and a double baize.

INTRODUCING OUR HISTORIC WASHED CARPET MATS

On Special Sale

From our available carpet stock only
Ready within two days for shipping

Unique historic carpet mats for the period home that has everything! Use our historic washed carpet mats at doors, in mudrooms, entryways, kitchens, and baths.

Our historic carpet mats are special because:

  • They're made from our historic carpet patterns in period colorways
  • The more you wash them, the softer they become
  • Made from 100% wool, they're environmentally friendly
  • They are machine washable! You can even throw them in the dryer!
  • They make wonderful gifts

Here's how they work well:

  • In the bath, historic carpet mats are soft and warm underfoot. They absorb water from the shower or bath.
  • At entry doors they catch mud, snow, and ice, and they can be machine washed and dried as often as you want.
  • In the kitchen, our mats keep your feet warm and catch spills and water from the kitchen sink.
  • Over existing carpet, our mats protect your carpet from dirt and wear.
  • Pets love them too!
  • They will last for years and are better than synthetic door mats. And they're completely reversible!

Measurements are approximate and depend on available carpets in stock. We are happy to make custom mats for you too. Call us about special orders: 518-284-2729.
