At 1.4 x 2 metres, this cloth gives full coverage for a standard six to eight seater — which is the point of a tablecloth over placemats: it protects the entire surface, not just where the plates go, and it covers a table that has seen better days. Cotton linen is the traditional table fabric because it drapes properly with weight rather than hanging stiffly, and it washes at a high temperature, which matters for something that catches everything a meal produces. Beyond protection, a cloth changes the sound and feel of a table — plates and glasses set down quietly, which makes a dinner feel considerably more civilised. Several prints available.

Buying guide
Measure your table and aim for a 20–30cm overhang on each side — enough to drape properly without sitting in laps. A 1.4 x 2m cloth therefore suits a table of roughly 0.8 x 1.4m. Wash before first use, treat oil marks with detergent worked in before washing rather than after drying, since heat sets grease permanently. Iron while slightly damp for the crispest finish, or accept the relaxed look of linen. Store folded along the same lines each time, or rolled if you want to avoid creases entirely.
How it compares
Against placemats, a cloth protects the whole table and covers a worn surface, at the cost of laundry. Against a PVC cloth, cotton linen drapes and feels far better but needs washing. Use both together for a formal setting: cloth underneath, mats at each place.
