Christmas Gobelin Tablecloth “Nutcrackers and Vintage Carousels” 240 x 140 cm Nutcrackers, Stars and Snowflakes in Ruby Red, Gold and Fir Green on an Ivory Background Bring the magic of a classic Christmas to your table with this rectangular home-furnishing Gobelin fabric tablecloth, already made up with finished hems, measuring 240 x 140 cm. The design is not printed but woven directly into the fabric using high-definition jacquard weaving, as in the tradition of the finest European textile workshops. This is a unique piece in excellent condition, offered exclusively on Catawiki, for anyone looking for a festive table setting that feels precious and full of wonder. Wooden nutcrackers dressed as soldiers and kings originated in the nineteenth century in the mountains of Saxony, where artisans carved them as good-luck charms for the holidays. They became famous with Hoffmann’s 1816 fairy tale and Tchaikovsky’s celebrated 1892 ballet, which made them a lasting symbol of Christmas. On this tablecloth, kings with crowns and sceptres, drummers and officers in red, blue and green uniforms parade alongside a knight on a rocking horse. At the centre, a runner woven with golden stars and snowflakes glows in the candlelight; in the corners, two vintage carousels with white horses and pine cones, fir branches and red bows. A ruby-red and gold diamond-patterned border elegantly frames the whole design. The fabric has a substantial, compact and durable feel, typical of Gobelin, with luminous highlights from the golden lurex threads. The dense mixed-fibre composition makes the tablecloth stable and long-lasting, designed to grace your holiday table every December, like a little family heirloom. An ideal tablecloth for Christmas Eve, Christmas lunch and New Year’s Eve, for rectangular tables seating approximately 6–8 people, in classic, Nordic or Victorian Christmas style.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – SHIPPING AND PURCHASES HOW IS THE TABLECLOTH SHIPPED? We ship by express courier with a tracking number. The tablecloth is carefully folded and packed to protect it during transit. CAN I BUY MULTIPLE LOTS AND SAVE ON SHIPPING? Certainly! Pay for just one lot and contact us via Catawiki chat before paying for the others. We will check whether the lots can be combined into a single shipment and whether we can apply a discount of up to 50% on the shipping costs for additional lots. IS THE DISCOUNT ALWAYS AVAILABLE? Not always. Whether shipments can be combined and the amount of the discount depend on the size, weight and logistical requirements of each lot. In some cases, separate shipments are necessary because the items come from different storage locations. CAN I GET THE DISCOUNT IF I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THE LOTS SEPARATELY AND WOULD LIKE A SINGLE SHIPMENT? Shipping costs already paid cannot be reversed or refunded to apply the discount retroactively. If you were unaware of this option, please still contact us via Catawiki chat: we will be happy to consider, at our discretion, a commercial offer—for example, on a future purchase—or other solutions. This is an optional possibility, not an automatic or guaranteed discount. CAN I COLLECT THE LOT IN PERSON OR USE MY OWN COURIER? In-person collection is not available. Shipping is arranged by the seller through its own couriers; we do not accept shipping labels provided by the buyer or shipments arranged with couriers chosen directly by the buyer.
