Old-fashioned classic floor cloth with linseed oil.
This method takes more time (mostly in drying), but if you want an authentic period piece, this is the way to do it. (Linseed oil is made by pressing oil from the flax seed, and was a common product for hundreds of years since flax is the plant that produces linen for cloth.) Use good quality canvas, duck or denim, and wash to remove any sizing. The piece should be about six inches larger in both dimensions than the finished floor cloth to allow for trimming and hemming. Stretch the canvas, using staples or tacks on a wooden frame. Saturate the canvas with linseed oil, spreading the oil gently with a paint brush so that it does not puddle or drip. Make sure the oil penetrates through to the back side. You may need to apply oil to the back as a separate step. Hang the canvas outside, preferably in warm, dry weather. It will take several days to a week to dry completely depending on the temperature and humidity. The linseed oil will stiffen the cloth as it dries and create a hard surface to the touch. When dry, stencil or paint a design on the canvas using any of the following: natural pigments dissolved in linseed oil, artist's oil paints thinned so that they aren't lumpy, oil-based exterior house paint, spray paint (non-acrylic) or oil-based hobby paints. After the paints are thoroughly dry (allow 3 days, except for quick drying spray paints), seal the surface with a clear varnish. Apply at least 3 coats of varnish, allowing each coat to dry completely. Cut the canvas from the frame with a razor knife. The edges can be left as is, or folded under for a hem, and glued with contact cement. Hemming wasn't often a worry with the old cloths, and varnish can be applied around the edges to seal any fiber ends. These floor cloths will stand up to foot traffic, but if you notice a wear pattern, re-varnishing is in order.
Yes, just about that time.
The first collage painting by Pablo Picasso is widely considered to be "Still Life with Chair Caning," created in 1912. This work incorporates a piece of oilcloth that resembles a chair caning pattern, effectively blending painting and collage techniques. Picasso's innovative use of mixed media marked a significant departure from traditional artistic methods, influencing the development of modern art.
Picasso has worked with various media throughout his career. During the Rose Period, the Blue Period, Proto-Cubism, and Analytic Cubism, he primarily used oil on canvas. However, during his Synthetic Cubism phase, Picasso incorporated mixed media in his work. For instance, for his Still Life With Chair Caning(1912), he used oil and pasted oilcloth on canvas and surrounded the entire construction with real rope. He also did abstract sculptures, such as his Guitar (1912) made out of sheet metal and wire.

Oilcloth traditionally was made from close-woven linen or cotton duck cloth. The name "Oilcloth" was given to it because of the coating of boiled linseed oil which was added to give it a waterproof coating.

No, I don't think so. My oilcloth coat says "Do not machine wash, Do not dry Clean" "Just hose off and hang to dry" Hope that helps...
