Gracious Style is a specialty catalog and online boutique of luxury table linens and tabletop accessories. Our goal is to help discerning clients to create the perfect settings for entertaining with grace and style. With that in mind, we have personally chosen each item we carry. As you will find, some of them are handcrafted by master artisans, while many others come directly from small, family-owned European manufacturers who still follow time-honored traditions of craftsmanship. Examine them closely, and you will find the exacting details and top-notch materials that set them apart. For generations, linens have been among a family''s most precious possessions.

In addition to the weavers'' expertise, the fineness of the yarns and the softness of the waters in northern Ireland (used in the finishing processes) produce a cloth which is unusually soft and fine. What size should my tablecloth be? In general, the longer the drape, the more formal the table will look. For most dining tables, we suggest that cloths should have at least an eight-inch drop on all sides. For a more elegant look, lengthen the drop to approximately twenty inches. Finally, for the most dramatic effect, use a cloth which reaches all the way to the floor, or even beyond, to create a luxurious puddle effect.

I have several leaves for my table. How long should my tablecloth be? If the table is extended and shortened often, separate tablecloths should be purchased to fit each size. If this is not possible, we recommend several solutions. The first one is to buy a cloth that fits the size of table that is used most often, and purchasing affordable banquet cloths (see our Regency collection) for larger affairs. Another solution is to simply buy a cloth to fit the largest table, and use it at all times. A third possibility is to purchase a series of smaller square tablecloths, each of which can be draped diagonally over the table.

In early times, they were so rare and expensive that only the very wealthy could afford them, so linens were guarded zealously. In many households, linen inventories were meticulously kept in handwritten lists and regularly attended to by a dedicated staff. Fortunately, linens are no longer so rare or costly anymore, yet for us at Gracious Style, they are no less precious. Ultimately, we love linens because they are so personal. They accompany us through a lifetime of celebrations and memories - from meals shared with loved ones to anniversaries and holidays - and ultimately become treasured heirlooms. What should I look for in finer linens?
