Vintage Linen Tablecloth
Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is the MATTEO Vintage Linen Tablecloth made from?
The Vintage Linen Tablecloth is made from 100% linen, woven with a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft for a balanced weave that is soft and sturdy. Every tablecloth is garment-washed using non-toxic dyes at MATTEO's dye house in Los Angeles, a process that opens and softens each fiber from the inside out.
What sizes does the Vintage Linen Tablecloth come in?
The tablecloth is available in two sizes: 72" x 72" (183 x 183 cm), which suits a square or round table seating four to six, and 72" x 120" (183 x 305 cm), which is suited to a rectangular table seating eight to ten. Both sizes are finished with a 3" hem and mitered corners.
How do I wash and care for a linen tablecloth?
Machine wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, separating light and dark colors, then rinse in cool water. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying gives the best result. Do not use bleach or products containing chlorine, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide, as these will damage the garment-dyed finish.
Is the Vintage Linen Tablecloth a good gift for a wedding registry or dinner party?
Yes. The tablecloth is available in 15 garment-dyed colorways, from White and Off White to Coal and Night, making it straightforward to match any table setting or gifting occasion. Linen's durability and its tendency to grow softer with each wash mean it holds its quality across years of use, which is why it consistently appears on design-conscious registries.
