Nice patterns

It is a very traditional print of the region and is one of the most beautiful motifs created by the provencal house Marat d'Avignon. The colors are bright and brilliant thanks to a superior cotton quality. The motifs almost occupy the entire tablecloth. The part that covers the round table is dotted with “calissons” on a colored background. Their number is growing up to the center. This one is marked by a bouquet of flowers in crown underlined by a border. The drop is decorated with two friezes, the second being much wider than the first. Its drawing is more complex too. The outer edge is left without pattern on a small width and ends with a finishing strip.

Cotton or cotton coated ?

Are you still hesitating between cotton and coated cotton? Here are some details below to help you. Coating is a treatment applied to the fabric to make it more waterproof and prevent stains from becoming embedded in the fibers. One side of the textile is coated with a thin layer of acrylic. This does not preclude machine washing which is done like a delicate wash of colors, with normal rinsing and medium spin. You must iron the cotton piece on the wrong side (negative side of the print) to reactivate the properties of the treatment. Your coated tablecloth will be ready for use again, and possibly soiled. If you quickly sponge the stain, it will not mark the fabric. It works as if you had a waterproof tablecloth.
There is no care precaution specific to coated fabric compared to cotton. Uncoated cotton is necessarily more absorbent because it is not protected by acrylic, but it is more natural to the touch and it is also more economical to buy. We hope you are now able to make your decision.

Accessories & coordinates

The napkins are offered in the catalog in two models: allover calissons pattern, or stripe pattern (the border patterns). The bread basket is also accessible directly from this page.

All our household linen is made with care in the South East of France with quality textile materials. In order to preserve all the qualities of your article, we recommend you to follow our maintenance advices. This will help you enjoy the features and properties of your house linen longer.

Some tips : to wash your laundry, we recommend Marseille soap, a natural and really effective product that the washerwomen (lavandieres) of Provence used formerly. In addition to being environmentally friendly and harmless to the skin and the environment, it cleans and removes stains perfectly without damaging fabric. You can also use white vinegar as a softener: it's natural too. Do not hesitate and follow the example of Provencal housewives, back to fundamentals: it's good for you, for your home, and for the planet!

For TEFLON treated or coated fabrics: we recommend to iron on the reverse side of the fabric to reactivate the properties of anti-stain treatment.

Choose your tablecloth according to your table (shape and dimensions), how you use it (indoor or in the garden) and ... your preferences!

Which dimensions ?

Whatever the shape of your table, you may start by measuring length and width or diameter.

Once the dimensions known, make sure to add 15 to 35 cm (about 6 to 14 in) on each side for the fallout (30 to 70 cm in total, or 12 to 28 in).

If you do not know the dimensions of the table (for a gift for example), you may count in number of guests: therefore, allow a minimum of 60 to 70 cm (23.6 to 27.6 in) between each guest and apply this simple rule:

- For a rectangular table, the length of the tablecloth should be 150 cm up to 4 persons + 50 cm each time you add 2 more guests (for 10 guests, the length of the tablecloth should be 150 + 3 x 50 = 300 cm)

- For a round table, the diameter of the tablecloth should be 150 cm up to 4 persons + 30-40 cm each time you add 2 more guests (for 8 guests, the diameter of the tablecloth should be 150 + 2 x 40 = 230 cm)

Is coating useful?

The coating facilitates daily use and spares machine washes by allowing to wipe stains off with a sponge; untreated tablecloths offer a softer touch; Teflon-treated tablecloths offer 2 advantages ... Your choice will depend essentially on 3 criteria:

- Outdoor use: If your tablecloth is mainly used outdoor, we recommend that you choose coated cotton;

- Frequency of use: for daily use, prefer the coating to simplify maintenance. Conversely, for occasional use (party, reception, etc.), we recommend a tablecloth without coating for printed cotton or treated with Teflon for jacquard woven cotton.

- Your personal feelings: If you want to find the touch of 100% cotton, go for untreated or Teflon treated tablecloths.

Printed cotton or jacquard woven: a matter of texture

Printed cotton tablecloths and 100% cotton jacquard woven tablecloths are mainly dedicated to the 'art de la table'. They can have an acrylic or Teflon coating to prevent stain permeation. Printed cotton is lighter, for everyday or outdoor use. Jacquard cotton tablecloths are generally more refined, with very elaborate patterns and a texture that makes the drop off more neat. They are appreciated for setting a holiday table.

Jacquard woven cotton and polyester blend tablecloths are more designed for decoration, because this combination of materials and their weaving method allows a thickness close to the upholstery fabric.

In both cases, maintenance remains simple, and machine washing is possible at 30-40 °C, with a recommendation for washing at a 'delicate linen' program for the decorative jacquard woven fabric (because of the threads in relief). We recommend ironing all your tablecloths inside out, to prevent the heat from altering the beautiful colors of Provence. This is strongly recommended for anti stains treated tablecloths and it will reactivate the coating protection.
