Ekelund Master Weavers Since 1692
Ekelund tablecloths showcases the skill, creativity and design achievements of many of the world's first class textile designers. From the Ekelund Family To Yours…Ekelund creates heirloom linen tablecloths, to be passed down through generations. Our families spend a few hours each day at the table, the rest of the time, the table is an important element in our interior decoration. At Ekelund, they specialize in the interior design trends where table linens present vast possibilities to give a room a new personality.

A strong tradition – research suggests that Ekelund may be the world’s oldest family run textile business in the world – never prevents them from exploring new was of working, innovative, artistic and beautiful linens designed by outstanding artisans who draw on the ancient, and virtually unknown techniques of using woven boarders to balance and frame the pattern for perfect harmony.
Like the cycle of life itself, age-old creativity comes full circle when it is dusted off and embraced anew. The art of tablecloth weaving illustrates this point perfectly as Ekelund linens are unchallenged in being between the very finest woven kitchen and table linens in the world. They embody the very spirit of our mission here at Ciao Bella! “….inspiration for a life lived well.”
Ekelund tablecloths are special because…….
° Woven with pride in Sweden for over 300 years
° Woven borders frame the design: an ancient tradition of commitment to excellence
° Each item is woven to its own width, avoiding double hemmed corners, excessive wear on the edges and easy ironing
° Use of the world’s finest linen from France and Belgium, and long staple cotton
° Custom Workroom: Many patterns are sold by the bolt or meter, cut to lengths and/or cut and hemmed to your specifications: call Ciao Bella! For pricing. Ekelund hems custom orders twice each week.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE SIZE OF YOUR TABLECLOTH
1. You must know the size of your table and then you can calculate which of our tablecloth sizes are appropriate.
2. Our tablecloth measurements are the guaranteed minimum size AFTER WASHING. We deliver your cloth with an excess of 3-5%.
3. Select a tablecloth and check all sizes that we provide for that pattern.
4. Let's assume your table is 40” x 78”
5. WIDTH: Calculate the drop on the sides of your table by taking its width and add twice the drop (inches) amount that you desire ….. a safe amount for a drop being 8 to 12+ inches on either side. For example: a 59 “ wide tablecloth on a 40” table will provide 9.5 drop on the sides.
6. LENGTH: If your table is 78” long and the tablecloth is 102”, you subtract the length of the table from the length of the cloth that leaves 24” inches being a 12” drop on both ends. Perfect!
7. A custom size may be a solution for uniquely sized tables, but keep in mind that not all patterns and colors are available in yardage lengths.
