| Have you considered Godwin Family Weavers, in Red Lion, PA? They used to make reproduction in-grain carpets and may also have remnants from some of their custom jobs.
(Hmmm, after a quick Google, it seems to be the Kline family business now)
Hope this has some lead for you,

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
