Tradition has it that Army Navy tablecloths date back to the Civil War when officers took handmade tea cloths into battle, so that they could enjoy their proper afternoon tea. These tablecloths were highly sought-after when military officers and their wives formally entertained. They have an elegant look and quality which far surpasses any table linens available today.
This tablecloth is in excellent condition and has been very lightly used in a smoke-free and pet-free home. There are two tiny loose stitches in one lace block that are barely noticeable. There is also a very small mend on one of the lace squares that is about the size of a pencil point and has been magnified (in the next to the last picture) for your review. Regardless, the cloth looks brand new. The tablecloth is washed, ironed and ready for your finest occasion.
