Vintage Linen Tablecloth from Portugal – Geometria

Geometria is a vintage linen tablecloth from Portugal, showcasing quiet elegance through geometric simplicity. Handwoven in fine natural linen, its square format was crafted in the Minho region during the mid-20th century, as part of a traditional enxoval antigo — the ceremonial trousseau passed between generations.

The hand embroidery draws on modernist influences, using clean, rhythmic lines to form understated squares and borders. Each motif is stitched in neutral tones, blending seamlessly with the warm ivory of the linen. While soft in color, the design offers strong visual structure, echoing architectural grace in textile form.

This tablecloth was never used and is preserved in excellent vintage condition, with no stains or damage. It remains crisp and full of presence, ready to bring thoughtful design to any table — whether for daily meals or special gatherings.

This vintage linen tablecloth from Portugal is more than a functional textile — it’s a testament to timeless design, slow handcraft, and the quiet poetry of geometric form.
