Description and Details
This antique Irish linen damask tablecloth is a beautifully woven heritage piece with a refined floral theme. The damask ground is filled with stylised trailing flowers, creating a soft, continuous pattern that catches the light in the classic way Irish damask is prized for. Along the edges, the design becomes more elaborate, with swags of trailing flowers forming decorative borders and floral posies placed in each corner, giving the cloth a formal, balanced layout.
The centre is anchored by a large scale wreath of stylised flowers, providing a strong focal point when the cloth is laid on a table. This combination of all over damask, structured borders, and a central wreath is typical of high quality Irish table linen intended for special dining or impressive interiors. It brings quiet luxury to both period homes and modern tablescapes.
The cloth came to Penelope Textiles beautifully laundered and starched and has not been re laundered since, so the weave remains crisp and the pattern definition sharp. Condition is listed as excellent, making it ready to use immediately or to store as a collectible antique textile. At 196 x 197 cm, it is a generous near square size ideal for many dining tables, sideboards, or display settings, and it also suits textile lovers who repurpose antique damask into restoration work, cushion fronts, or framed heritage panels. Materials are linen damask, offering durability, soft sheen, and true Irish weaving heritage.
Materials: Linen, Damask.
