carpet-beater
Woven paddle tool
A carpet-beater is a flat paddle, usually made of wicker, rattan, or wire, used to beat dust out of rugs and carpets hung on a line.
Before vacuum cleaners became common, beating carpets was a regular household chore: She took the rug outside and gave it a good whack with the carpet-beater.
