Vtg Muckross Irish Linen Double Damask Tablecloth Set 104x72 Selvedge 11 Pk
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Up for your consideration is a truly magnificent, heirloom-quality vintage Pure Irish double damask flax linen banquet tablecloth and matching narrative napkin suite. This exceptional set features the highly collectible and documented "MUCKROSS" scenic pattern, intricately woven to showcase the historic Muckross Abbey ecclesiastical ruins of Killarney, Ireland. The detailed motif features the iconic square church tower, traditional Irish round towers, shamrocks, Celtic harps, and country hunting dogs.
🌟 AUTHENTICITY HALLMARK: This tablecloth features the highly coveted, permanent woven-in loom mark reading "IRISH LINEN DOUBLE DAMASK" in crisp, all-capital block letters directly along the corner hem, alongside the woven pattern title "MUCKROSS". This is a true signature of luxury heritage provenance woven directly into the fabric by master Irish weavers.
The fabric boasts the substantial weight, cool hand, and crisp luster that only fine, vintage European flax linen can provide. Because it is a true double damask, the weave is incredibly dense, giving the Muckross Abbey motifs an almost three-dimensional depth that changes beautifully under the light.
The collection has been professionally cared for, soaked in a meticulous Engelside restoration bath, and carefully ironed. It is completely bright white, crisp, structurally strong, odorless, and ready for immediate use, display, or gifting.
MEASUREMENTS:
- Tablecloth: 104 inches long x 72 inches wide (Generous banquet size)
- Napkins: Approximately 21x21 inch Standard matching dinner napkins
SET COMPONENT & CONDITION BREAKDOWN:
We believe in full transparency so you can buy with absolute confidence. This set includes 11 napkins total, broken down as follows:
- 8 Napkins: Pristine, bright, and immaculate restored condition.
- 2 Napkins: Feature minor, faint age traits. One has a very subtle, faint pinkish storage hue on a portion of the fabric, and the other has a single, tiny stubborn pinpoint oxidation spot (clearly marked with a blue indicator arrow in our photos). Both are structurally perfect and fully usable.
- 1 Bonus Napkin: Included completely free as a placeholder piece. This 11th napkin has a couple of small, hardened permanent spots from vintage household craft adhesive/epoxy that could not be laundered out. It remains a fantastic extra piece to lay flat under a centerpiece vase or teapot.
