Cotton table linen set, 1970

Table linen set from 1970. This is a table linen set (tablecloth and 8 napkins) with a very distinctive checkered pattern. Tablecloth: 133 by 230 cm. 8 Napkins: 36 by 40 cm. The fabric is a thick cotton. The combination of colours and the checkered pattern give it a style that is both warm, rustic chic, and vintage. This set features many characteristics typical of household linen from the 1960s and especially the 1970s. The combination of burnt orange/pumpkin, olive/avocado green, and earthy brown is emblematic of the 70s (the "Seventies" or "Seventies Vintage" style). These warm, earthy colours were extremely popular for interior textiles at that time. Bold and wide check patterns were very fashionable, often mixed with touches of contrasting colours. The use of metallic thread (silver/lurex) woven into the pattern to add a sparkle is a technique often found in textiles from these decades, particularly for items considered "festive" or "modern" at the time. In summary, this is a very beautiful set, perfect for setting colourful and vibrant tables all year round, bringing a touch of bright colour and warmth to the table, with a festive touch thanks to the sparkling thread.
