I am searching for reproduction floor coverings, a drugget to be placed under a piano in an historic house of 1870's.  The carpet is being worn under the pedals and I would like to protect it.  My first idea was to take a piece of sturdy linen and finish off the ends lining it with a piece of polyester felt.  But then I began to wonder if anyone knew of any quality reproductions?

Thanks
