Table Linens

Antique French table linens hold the memory of French households: a hand-spun linen sheet, a damask cloth brought out for special days, napkins stitched in red thread with a family’s initials.

Woven in linen, hemp or sturdy métis... these pieces were made to last for generations. Time has softened them through washing, sun bleaching and careful storage.

This collection may include tablecloths, runners, napkins, place mats and hand-embroidered pieces... from everyday country linens to finer textiles once kept for guests and occasions. Monograms, especially those sewn for a trousseau, give many pieces a story of their own.

Hard-wearing, natural and more beautiful with age... antique French linens dress a table with an authenticity new fabric rarely reaches, equally suited to daily use and to the moments worth marking.
