    Please, can anyone offer insight into the age and origin of this sweet Christmas table covering? The deer are charmingly naïve. It measures 33" x 33". No labels. There is a faint black ink stamp on one edge but I can't make it out. The odd swirl shadows in the linen are just digital quirks. Thank you! deer2mail.jpg deer3mail.jpg deer1mail.jpg

    I believe this is what is called a Bridge table cloth. It fits a small square card table. They usually came with 4 cocktail napkins.

    Sweden for the color and design makes sense. And, yes, re napkins. Looks linen. Stamp either dry cleaner's mark or manufacturer's number.
