Antique Round Linen Tablecloth with Lace and Cutwork Embroidery – 180 cm with 8 Napkins

• Dimensions: 180 cm diameter
• Fabric fiber: pure linen
• Color: light cream
• Country of origin: Belgium

This antique round tablecloth is made from linen and comes with a set of 8 matching napkins. The tablecloth measures 180 cm in diameter, and each napkin is 43 cm square with lace and embroidery in one corner.

The design combines lace and embroidery. The lace motifs resemble Venetian needle lace (Point de Venise), but based on their regular structure they are most likely machine-made guipure lace, typical of Belgian production in the early 20th century. The lace includes floral and scroll patterns joined by bars and picots, giving the piece its decorative character.

The linen is also decorated with cutwork and satin stitch embroidery, enhancing the design and complementing the lace. The tablecloth is finished with a scalloped lace edge, and the napkins include lace inserts and embroidered motifs to match the main piece.

Condition: Very good. Linen and lace intact and clean, with only a minor dusty storage mark. The set has not been laundered.

This antique linen set is authentic and decorative, suitable for use as a formal table covering, for special occasions, or as a collectible antique textile. It is also valued by interior designers and textile artists for creative reuse and inspiration.

Care Instructions:

- Preferred: Dry clean, to protect the lace and stitching.

- If washing at home: Hand wash separately in cold or lukewarm water with a mild soap.

- Avoid: Bleach, strong detergents, wringing, or tumble drying — these damage linen fibers and lace.

- Drying: Lay flat on a towel or line dry in the shade (avoid direct sun, which weakens fibers).

- Ironing: Use medium heat while the fabric is still slightly damp, with a pressing cloth if needed to protect the lace.
