White Linen Tablecloth with Lace Trim

This linen tablecloth handmade in Portugal embodies the quiet beauty of traditional craftsmanship. Created in the early 20th century, it was entirely made by hand using delicate drawn-thread embroidery and lace trim. Each detail reflects the artisan’s patience and the depth of Portugal’s textile heritage.

The piece combines precision with lightness. Its openwork embroidery adds rhythm and air to the linen base, while the scalloped lace trim softens the edges with a subtle, decorative touch. Together, these techniques create a refined balance between structure and delicacy.

The neutral white tone enhances its versatility. It can be styled for both everyday use and special occasions, pairing effortlessly with natural ceramics, fine glassware, or vintage décor. Whether used for dining, as a decorative overlay, or displayed as a collectible piece, it adds warmth, history, and texture to any setting.

Preserved in excellent vintage condition, this tablecloth stands as a tribute to Portuguese artisanship. Its intricate lace, hand-finished hems, and openwork motifs evoke the care and emotion once present in every stitch. Reimagined by Dalila, it now carries this legacy into homes that value authenticity, sustainability, and timeless beauty.

A celebration of heritage and refinement — handmade to last, and meant to be loved again.
