large tablecloth and 11 vintage Basque indigo blue napkins,
Superb vintage Basque table linen set from the 60s-70s, consisting of a large tablecloth and eleven matching napkins. Made from thick cotton with jacquard weaving, it features delicate openwork borders and beautiful geometric patterns in indigo blue, white, red, and yellow. This linen is typical of Basque mantelerías (traditional table linen from the Basque Country, mainly on the Spanish side, provinces of Guipúzcoa, Biscay, and Navarre), characterized by dense jacquard weaving, often in cotton or linen, adorned with stylized geometric or floral patterns and colorful bands in red, blue, green, and yellow, used for festive meals or large rural gatherings. In good vintage condition, 5 of the 11 napkins have small, barely visible signs of wear (rust stains?). Beautiful finishes, the blue hue is slightly faded but uniform on the tablecloth and napkins. See photos. Large tablecloth measures 140 cm wide and 320 cm long, napkins approximately 44 × 44 cm. Between Basque tradition and timeless elegance, perfect for a table with a folk-chic and warm charm.
