1950 American military stationed in Asia. Lore of a genteel time, Army-Navy tablecloth Don’t wait. Still limited time to re-stitch family history Heirloom Keepsake, available in stock!
The tradition of Army Navy tablecloth “began in the civil war with actual tea cloths that were sent with the officers to the field so they could have proper tea whilst awaiting the next battle. The cloths were made of alternating panels of lace and linen, bits and pieces, really, because materials were scarce and one didn’t want to send the “real” tea cloth out to be ruined by a warring regiment.”
During the 1950s to ’60’s, Army and Navy tablecloths in heirloom quality and hand made filet lace were created for military officers posted in the East, after WWII. At The Lace And Linens Co. we are proud to bring you beautiful linens to honour this tradition. Limited quantities.
