Table linen - fine clothing for the table
Tablecloths for tables have been around in many countries for centuries. Experience the joy of decorating tablecloths, serviettes etc. using individual creativity and to make a good impression. Until recently, tablecloths were found in the silverware and pageantry services and seen as the symbol of representative status.
Tablecloth is, just like table manners, an integral part of the Central European culture. It was an indispensable part of a bride's dowry and was part of the foundation of every household. Often lovingly embroidered by the mother or with magnificently woven patterns remitted the table linen on stand to fit the lifestyle of the family.
The history of table linen
Even at the traditional banquets, they were placed next to the bowls, and gold cutleries were first without napkins and tablecloths. Greek miniatures, frescoes and paintings show the time that tableware equipment were invented.
In the Middle Ages, table manners were a little rustic. Table towels were also hardly found at the court. In the late Middle Ages, cloths for wiping the hands were commonly found in dining rooms, which can be regarded as a forerunner of napkins in Central Europe. By 1200, there are pictures showing the very first table linen. The simple smooth cloth covered the table and was supplemented by a second, reaching down to the floor that went round and which was used to protect clothing and used as a napkin by everyone.
In the Renaissance times, tablecloths were brought in from Italy and used throughout Europe. The refined table manners of the farms were soon copied by the emerging middle class and had become generally established in the 19th century.
