Finding a cheap and quality tablecloth , especially one made in France , is possible if you know the right addresses and the right criteria to take into account. A beautiful tablecloth is not only a practical accessory: it dresses your table, protects its top and sets the tone for your meals, whether they are everyday or special occasions.

I have selected for you on Amphitria, a range of magnificent and very varied tablecloths: plain or patterned, round or rectangular, in cotton or linen, colorful or sober... and always of quality, affordable and made in France or Europe!

The entire selection is HERE and here is a complete guide to help you choose.

What size tablecloth should I choose for a rectangular, round or square table?

• Rectangular table : choose a tablecloth the length of the table + two drops (generally 20 to 30 cm on each side).

• Round table : measure the diameter of the table and add 40 to 60 cm to the total to have a nice drop.

• Square table : as for the round table, add 20 to 30 cm of drop on each side.

At Amphitria , tablecloths made in France or manufactured in Europe are available in several standard formats, and some brands offer custom-made products.

What fallout can be expected from a water table?

The ideal drop is between 20 and 30 cm for everyday use.

• 20 cm : discreet, practical and modern drop.

• 30 cm : more chic drop, ideal for festive meals.
  For a more ceremonial style, some opt for a floor-length gown, but this is reserved for special occasions.

What material should you choose for a tablecloth?

• Cotton : natural, soft and easy to care for.

• Linen : noble and elegant, it ages well and develops a beautiful patina.

• Polyester : economical, durable and crease-resistant.

• Cotton/linen or cotton/polyester blends : they combine aesthetics and practicality.

Linen tablecloths made in France are particularly appreciated for their authenticity and durability.

What stain-resistant tablecloths are there?

Stain-resistant tablecloths are coated or have a water-repellent treatment. They allow spills to be easily wiped away without allowing them to penetrate the fabric.
It is a practical solution for everyday family life or for outdoor use .

How to wash a tablecloth?

• Cotton & linen : machine wash at 40°C, delicate cycle, iron with a warm iron (on the reverse side if the tablecloth is colored).

• Polyester : wash at 30°C, light or no ironing required.

• Stain-resistant tablecloths : often a simple wipe with a sponge is enough, otherwise gentle machine wash.

French manufacturers always provide clear care instructions to ensure the longevity of the tablecloth.

Tablecloth or oilcloth: what’s the difference?

• Textile tablecloth : elegant, flexible, available in cotton, linen, or blend.

• Oilcloth : coated with PVC or acrylic, ultra-practical and very resistant, but less refined.

Today, some coated tablecloths made in France combine aesthetics and practicality, without the plastic effect of traditional oilcloth.
