Provincial Tablecloth - Natural/French Navy
Maker: Mungo
The Provincial Stripe Tablecloth can be used every day for a casual lunch setting, or paired up with the matching serviettes for something a little more formal.
The colourful stripe detail is inspired by antique French sacking material. In 19th-century France, grain sacks were often hand woven and homespun out of a thick, durable fibre like linen or hemp. The addition of woven-in coloured stripes played a significant role. Different colours represented the contents of the sack, whilst the stripe designs helped farmers identify their own sacks after the chaos of a market, ensuring the rightful owners transported their sacks back to the farm or mill.
