I'm trying to research medieval flooring, particularly painted oilcloth or
floorcloth. I've seen vague references to oilcloth being seen in the 14th
century, but no hard references. I have also looked in the Floregium, and
only found one thread, with *no* references. Google has yielded little.
One reference to rushes being replaced with carpets and/or mats (of no
reference) after the Black Death in the late 1300's.
So, I'm turning to the brain collective here. Any help would be deeply
appreciated!
In service,
