Table Linen

Table linen consists of all fabric articles used at a table setting to dress the table. It is commonly used as a decorative function, although it often provides some protection for tables. While the name linen suggests linen only, table linen is also used to describe cotton, silk and polyester textiles – any fabric that can be laundered. Common table linen includes square, round and rectangular table cloths, chair covers, chair bows, table runners, rectangular, round and square placemats and rectangular, round and square coasters. Table linen is used by hotels, restaurants, bed and breakfasts and catering venues, like those catering to weddings.
