Classic and Colorful Linen Damask Tablecloths from Linen Way

Last year, we visited St. Petersburg, Russia and we were awed by the magnificent art and architecture in this city.  It reminded us of Paris; the buildings share a similar Classical style, but the colors were much more vibrant and the designs more extravagantly ornate.

Our two favorite sights were the Hermitage, truly the most magnificent museum we’ve ever visited …

… and Peterhof, the summer residence of Peter the Great.

We loved this classical and exuberant style, so we were delighted to meet with Misha and Maria from Linen Way recently. Founded in 2002, their small, family-run business specializes in high-end pure linen fabrics and designer textiles.  Although their  products have been featured in numerous Canadian magazines and television shows, we are one of the first U.S. companies to carry them.

Using 100% pure Belgian flax (widely considered to be among the world’s finest), Misha and Maria have created a collection in that colorful, yet classic tradition.  Woven at mills that go back for generations (some are over 250 years old), their linens are richly imbued with design influences that are centered around French and Italian motifs.

Here are our top picks:

Like a beautiful tapestry hanging, Versailles features a woven floral and scroll pattern that is perfect for spring.

Spice up your table with these Paisley table linens in soft black and off-white tones; we love how the paisley adds a bit of a boho vibe.
