Description

Tablecloth: Large white linen dining room tablecloth. The tablecloth is rectangular and has a 1 1/2 inch hem all around. There are two 1/4 inch parallel lines of star-shaped drawn work that make up a double rectangular design at center. The same drawn work design is repeated 2 inches above the hem. There is a triangular-shaped design made from squares of drawn work at each corner of the center design. Manufactured in China for Waterford Linens. Pattern is called "Kings Court". Purchased new at Bloomingdales in 1997 to be used on La Casa Nueva's dining room table. Use tablecloth 97.20.14 underneath as a liner when used over the tablepads. The drawn work and the nature of linen does not allow the tablecloth to lie absolutely flat. Maker's tag was removed because it showed when exhibited. Needs to be professionally laundered. Overall physical condition and appearance is good.
