Vintage linens with their vivid motifs, recall childhood memories and yuletide traditions.
This tablecloth is oh so elegant and such a mid century modern delight. The red border is adorned with oodles of Shiny Brite shaped ornaments all set against pine branches twining about. The center is bright white with red and metallic gold snowflakes floating all around.
This fun pattern is set against a crisp white backround and the main colors are Christmas red, metallic gold , just a bit of black, and a dash of apple green in the pine branches.
There are 2 hemmed edges and 2 selvage edges.
Dimensions: 60" x 75"
Condition:
The condition is excellent and the colors are vivid. There are no holes, tears, or stains and the hem is great. The white is nice and bright and the gold metallic is still shiny. The fabric retains a crispness without the use of starch and is a such a nice weight and has a beautiful drape.
All of my tablecloths are freshly laundered and pressed. This tablecloth will arrive in an airtight bag to keep it clean.
I am by no means an expert, just selling a much loved collection. Guaranteed vintage and not a reproduction tablecloth. From a smoke free home. Please email me with any questions you may have. I am always glad to combine items in shipping.
Tablecloth Condition Rating Scale
The Tablecloth Condition Rating Scale was created as a joint project by members of the Linen Lover's Board, which includes both buyers and sellers of vintage tablecloths. An explanation of terms appears at the end.
Mint with Paper Tag: This category of tablecloth describes a MINT unused cloth with the paper label still attached. Storage stains are acceptable, as are factory defects such as thick threads and inconspicuous dye drips (common for the period). Cloth should be crisp and brightly colored. It may or may not come with a box. This category also describes tablecloths which have had their paper tags removed for professional cleaning and then laminated/bagged and carefully reattached. Storage fading and any other kind of non-storage stains are not acceptable.
Mint with Sewn-in Tag: This category is exactly like the one above except that at some point, the tablecloth has become separated from its paper tag and only has a sewn-in one. The cloth should still be unused, in pristine condition. Storage stains, thick threads, and inconspicuous dye drips are acceptable. Cloth should be crisp and brightly colored. Cloth may or may not come with a box. Storage fading and any other kind of stain are not acceptable.
Excellent, Near Mint: This category of tablecloth describes those cloths which have been gently used. There may be no tag or box, but the cloth will be in excellent pristine condition with no fading, holes, tears, or stains. The material will still be crisp and the colors vivid. Factory defects may exist, but they will be inconspicuous. Storage stains are acceptable; fading is not.
Excellent: This category describes cloths which have been gently used but which have been stored for some time and may or may not have been restored with modern cleaners. The cloth may have very faint yellowing in places. It may have other mysterious stains, but all will be extremely faint. There should be no fading, holes, tears, or serious stains. The material will still be crisp, and colors will be bright. Factory defects may exist, but they will be still be fairly inconspicuous.
Very Good: This category describes cloths which have been gently used but which may or may not have been restored with modern cleaners. The cloth may have faint yellowing in places and other mysterious small stains (storage, dark streaks, rust pin dots). It may have pinpoint holes or frayed places, or the hem may be unraveling a tiny bit. These faults should be fairly inconspicuous; the stains/holes should not be near or in the center of the cloth where they are highly visible, but on the drop. The cloth should still be crisp. Factory defects may be more visible. There should be no fading.
Good: This category describes cloths which have been moderately used and which may or may not have been restored. The cloth may have some yellowing in places, along with other stains (storage, dark streaks, rust pin dots). It may have pinpoint holes or frayed places, or the hem may be unraveling a tiny bit. There may be other small holes (less than 1/2 of an inch) in various places. The cloth will not be as crisp and there may be some slight even fading overall. Factory defects, if any, may be visible. There may also be inconspicuous darns or iron-on patches.
Fair: This category describes cloths which have been moderately used and which have not seen restoration. The cloth will have visible stains, perhaps including food and grease, and may have other stains from storage or rust. The tablecloth will have holes or frayed places, or the hem will be unraveling. There may be other holes (larger than 1/2 of an inch) in various places. The fabric will not be crisp and will be thin. There may be uneven fading or overall fading, or darns/patches in obvious places.
Cutter: This category describes cloths which have seen damage and can no longer be used for their original intention. One side of an otherwise pristine tablecloth, for instance, could have serious staining, tears, or holes, leaving the other side available for other uses. If a cloth has fading, this should be noted.
Poor: This category describes cloths which have been heavily used and which have not seen restoration. The cloth will have visible stains, including perhaps food, grease, or paint, and may have other stains from storage, rust, or other unknown causes. The tablecloth will have many holes, tears, and frayed places and the hem may be unraveling. The fabric will, in many cases, not be crisp and will be thin, yellowed, and dirty. There may be uneven fading or overall fading, or darns/patches in obvious places.
