This lilac check tablecloth, whether you call it farmhouse or retro, is a nice lightweight, smooth finish cotton fabric. The rectangular 52x70" size, lilac and white gingham-like tablecloth, will nicely fit a 5' banquet style table. The fringed tablecloth will have a 5" drop over the edge of a 5' table.

The printed cotton fabric's design was an exclusive to the manufacturer, Summerhill and appears to be a chintz. The color is a little more blue appearing in the second picture than the fabric actually is. Request a trim scrap to see and feel the quality of the fabric before purchasing.

Need a different size or more than one? This fabric is available for a custom size. Use the "Contact The Seller" link on this page to request a trimming scrap if desired, for additional quantities or sizes, or to ask any questions.

When deciding the size of a desired tablecloth, measure the top of your table. Then visualize how much you want the cloth to drape over the edge. Double that number and add it to the length and width measurements of your table top. Then you are ready to order your custom made tablecloth. In some cases I may have to piece the cloth to make it the size you're requesting.

I have created this tablecloth in my home in a clean environment; no cigarette fumes of any kind. To launder this item, presoak stains; no bleach. Machine wash separately on a warm or cold setting; tumble dry. Remove promptly, steam press or use sizing. Once made, I hand press with sizing, fold, and seal the cloth into a plastic bag and it awaits for shipping.

It is my goal to ship within 24 to 48 hours of receipt of an order on a USPS service day. Custom orders will require up to one week to process and ship. I will advise ship date upon receipt of a custom order. Custom orders are not returnable.

I will ship outside the United States. Use the contact link to request a shipping quote. I will reply promptly. Remember to include your location in your request.

I saw an opportunity to help my daughter with her college debt when I saw this fabric on an auction website. The fabrics, some of which were exclusive to the business that had closed, were very high end qualities that were only sold to designers and architects. A former employee of the company told me some of the exclusive fabrics wholesaled for $100.00 to $350.00 per yard.

Photos are intended to represent the tablecloth only. Nothing else in the picture is included with the sale of the tablecloth.

My photographs are intended to present a table adorned with a cloth. The size of one's table and the size of the cloth ordered to cover a specific table will determine how much drape or drop the cloth falls over the edge of that table.

From Wikipedia I've read that Chintz was originally produced between 1600 and 1800 in India as a glazed fabric, printed from woodblocks, painted or stained in floral and other designs for bed pillows, drapes, and quilts. For more information about chintz, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chintz
