Damask Tablecloths
Damask tablecloths in elegant designs are back in style: our selection ranges from
white damask tablecloths with subtle, modern patterns to ornamental damask designs with floral motifs
and exclusive damask tablecloths with classic patterns – all made from 100% cotton.
But what does "Damask" actually mean?
According to Wikipedia,
damask refers to a patterned fabric created by the alternating weave of warp and weft threads.
At our Tablecloths-Shop Libusch, you will find large and high-quality damask tablecloths up to 380 cm in length.
Popular sizes include 140x300 cm,
140x320 cm,
140x340 cm,
as well as 140x360 cm.
What Defines a High-Quality Damask Tablecloth?
A damask tablecloth is a woven table linen with its pattern integrated directly into the fabric. The characteristic damask design is most visible under angled light.
White damask tablecloths
made from 100% cotton are especially valued.
Our damask tablecloths are boil-washable at 95°C and resistant to chlorine. After washing,
we recommend ironing or mangling them for a perfectly smooth finish.
They are ideal for festive occasions of the highest standard.
Thanks to their durability, damask tablecloths retain their refined appearance even after many washes.
Our premium model Prinzipal embodies both traditional elegance and modern style awareness.
Perfect for weddings, holidays, or fine dinners, it elevates any table with timeless sophistication.
Why Is the Damask Tablecloth Called the Queen of Table Linens?
Authentic damask tablecloths radiate elegance and bring refinement to every banquet.
This is why they are often referred to as the "queen of table linens".
The woven damask pattern exudes sophistication, making white damask tablecloths particularly popular.
We specialize in large, modern damask tablecloths, custom sizes, and extra lengths,
ranging from 230 cm and 240 cm up to 380 cm in XXL.
We also offer a wide selection of round damask tablecloths,
available in 130 cm, 160 cm, 180 cm, and even 200 cm.
All of our damask tablecloths stand for premium quality and durability.
Which Damask Tablecloth Size Do I Need?
To make the most of your damask tablecloth, choosing the right size is crucial.
The rule of thumb: add 20–30 cm overhang on each side to the table’s surface dimensions.
At Libusch, all damask tablecloths are intentionally cut slightly larger.
Since damask shrinks during boil-washing,
the final size matches the dimensions listed in our product descriptions.
Shrinkage occurs more in length than in width, so we allow extra fabric to ensure a perfect fit.
Too-small tablecloths can ruin the look of even the finest meals.
A generous drape is essential – but it should not hang uncomfortably onto guests’ laps.
We provide a detailed tablecloth size guide with common table and cloth dimensions. If you need assistance, please contact us. We are happy to help you find the ideal damask tablecloth size.

Which Damask Tablecloth Is Right for Me?
The damask patterns of our tablecloths
offer plenty of choice. While we can’t decide for you, experience shows that the understated pattern of our
Damask Tablecloth "Leila"
is always well-received, regardless of the occasion.
Its subtle design pairs beautifully with all kinds of tableware and decorations.
The Damask Tablecloth Prinzipal,
woven in Westphalian tradition exclusively for Libusch, is particularly striking with its all-around woven pattern and mitred corners.
For a timeless classic, the Damask Tablecloth "Fina"
is a reliable choice, especially appreciated by traditional households.
Younger audiences often prefer our Damask Tablecloth "Sila",
with its flowing, elegant pattern that creates a refined ambiance.
Note: Matching damask napkins are available for all tablecloths. You can find them here.
We also offer several round damask tablecloths, such as the Damask Tablecloth Leila Ø 180 cm and Ø 200 cm.
As an alternative, we also offer plain white tablecloths without damask patterns.

What care instructions apply to damask tablecloths?
Our damask table linen is overall very easy-care and durable.
This fine fabric can be washed at very high temperatures (up to 95°C); for stubborn stains, treatment with chlorine bleach is possible. However, the gentler the care, the longer the table linen will keep its brilliant white appearance. We recommend having damask tablecloths mangled (roller pressed) after washing. Ironing by hand is particularly laborious with large tablecloths and often does not achieve the same smooth result.
Damask tablecloths that have been mangled also feature a straight central fold (“middle break”), which not only looks elegant but also provides a helpful guideline when laying the table.
