  Description Size
 Luxuriously large tablecloth and napkin set in a splendid and weighty ecru linen. Two large monograms with the initials GB, each embellished with tiny flowers, are embroidered on the tablecloth on either side of the the central medallion, as well as a single monogram on each of the 13 napkins. An overall motif of primroses decorates the center of the cloth with a frieze of larger flowers that creates a frame. The quality of this linen is superb, heavy and at the same time very fine and silken. I believe it's never been used. I washed the tablecloth just to remove the mustiness after a long time spent stored away in an armoire, but the napkins are in their original state - and as such, a tiny, tiny bit deeper in color than the tablecloth. Truly a magnificent set! Note: A slight bit of fraying on about 6 inches of one of the selvaged edges - easily reparable and practically unnoticeable  Dimensions tablecloth: 92 x 77 in., napkins:34 x 28in.
With a lovely and gentle elegance this ecru linen damask tablecloth comes with twelve matching napkins. A delicate and romantic poppy motif in the damask interlaces with a drawnthread Greek key pattern to create an interior border and a pretty hemstitch decorates the edges. Both the tablecloth and napkins exhibit a central medallion, decorative in itself or a frame for an embroidered monogram of your choice.  Dimensions tablecloth: 89 X 62 in., napkins: 24 x 22 in.
