Shabby or chic, this antique French table linen fits any style.

This early 20th-century round linen tablecloth, crafted from high-quality antique French linen, features a 40 cm linen center framed by handmade bobbin lace, extending to a full diameter of 95 cm. Made in the traditional French style from the Le Puy-en-Velay region, this lacework is admired for its intricate floral and geometric patterns, showcasing the skill of French artisans from the early 1900s.

With roots in the rich tradition of French table linens, Dentelle du Puy lace has long been celebrated for its refined, hand-crafted detail and is a hallmark of quality in vintage French textiles. This versatile piece can be used on a small round table for an elegant or rustic look, or layered over a larger cloth to showcase the delicate lacework.

Unused and in remarkably good condition despite its age and past storage, this unique piece adds a touch of antique charm to any table setting. Sold as-is, unwashed and unironed.

Care Instructions: before use, delicately hand wash or soak in mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and gently towel dry. Allow it to air dry, preferably in sunlight to enhance its brightness. Iron if needed.
