Description and Details
This antique Irish linen damask tablecloth is a refined heritage piece with a classic floral layout. The damask weave carries wreath and swag motifs that shimmer softly in the light, giving the cloth the quiet luxury Irish damask is known for. It feels formal and decorative without being over ornate, making it equally suited to period homes and elegant modern tablescapes.
The border design is particularly strong: floral swags alternate with vases of flowers along the edges, creating a continuous garland effect that frames the table beautifully. Each corner is finished with a floral posy, and the centre features a full floral wreath, providing a clear focal point when the cloth is laid. This balanced structure is typical of high quality antique Irish table linen intended for special dining.
The cloth came to Penelope Textiles beautifully laundered and starched and has not been re laundered since, so the weave remains crisp and the damask definition is sharp. Condition is listed as excellent, meaning it is ready for use straight away or for careful storage as a collector’s textile. Measuring 200 x 212 cm (78.5 x 83.5 inches), it is a generous near square size for dining tables, sideboards, or display styling, and it also suits heritage textile repurposing such as cushion panels or framed linen art. Materials are linen damask, prized for durability, soft sheen, and historic Irish craftsmanship
