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.”
It is a poignant and rich history upheld even until the strife of Vietnam War, This Devoré or Burnout Rose Army & Navy tablecloth is an affordable version made in the ’60’s.
