The Lace Jacquard Phoenix Tablecloth

What it is and how it is made

The Lace Jacquard Phoenix Tablecloth brings the look of lace to a fabric that holds up to daily use. It is woven from 100% polyester jacquard, so the surface has a raised, textured feel rather than a flat print. The lace-look pattern is printed onto the weave, which gives you the detail of lace with the easy care of polyester. A subtle phoenix motif runs through the design in beige, a warm neutral that sits well with wood, white and cream tables.

An oilproof finish is built into the fabric. That finish helps keep spills from soaking straight in, so a quick wipe with a damp cloth handles most everyday messes. The rectangular shape suits standard dining tables, buffet tables and console tables.

Sizes

Four rectangular sizes are available. Measure your table before you order, and add the drop you want on each side.

All four sizes share the same 55 in (140 cm) width, so the difference is in the length. If you are between two sizes, go with the longer one for a fuller drop.

Color and pattern

This tablecloth comes in beige. The tone is soft and slightly warm, which makes it a quiet base for patterned dishes, candles and centerpieces. The phoenix pattern is printed across the jacquard weave, so the design reads clearly without feeling busy. It works for Thanksgiving, weddings, parties and everyday family dinners, and it also suits a holiday table when you want something other than red and green.

Because the fabric is a lace-look jacquard, light catches the raised weave and gives the surface some depth. That texture is what separates it from a plain flat-weave cloth.

How to use it

Lay the tablecloth flat and center it on the table before you set anything down. Smooth it from the middle outward with your hands. The polyester weave relaxes with a little time on the table, and a low iron on the reverse side handles deeper creases.

The oilproof finish means you can wipe up water, juice and oil-based spills right away with a damp cloth. For heavier messes, take the cloth off the table and treat the spot before washing.

This cloth suits a dining room, a kitchen table, a buffet setup or a party table. Pair it with simple plates and a low centerpiece so the lace-look pattern stays the focus. For a layered look, run a solid runner down the middle of the table over the cloth.

Care

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Hang dry. Iron on low if needed, and iron on the reverse side to protect the printed pattern and the oilproof finish. Skip bleach and fabric softener, which can break down the finish over time. Wash it on its own or with similar light colors for the first few washes.

With basic care, the jacquard weave and the beige tone hold up through regular use, from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings.
