Olive Print Linen Tablecloth – Murge
Price range: $171.20 through $262.28
The Murge olive print linen tablecloth brings the natural colors of the Mediterranean landscape to the table. Its olive green, yellow-green, and ivory checks are completed by a painterly border of olive branches and fruit, positioned along the drop of the cloth.
Produced in Italy by L’Arcolaio, this Italian linen tablecloth is made from 100% prewashed linen, giving it a soft hand, natural drape, and relaxed texture. It is available in one square and three rectangular sizes, including generous options for longer dining tables.

A green check linen tablecloth with olives
Murge combines the regular structure of a check pattern with the freer movement of a botanical border. Deep olive green alternates with lighter yellow-green and ivory, while branches laden with olives run along the drop of the cloth.
The result is a green check linen tablecloth with olives that feels expressive yet balanced. The center remains visually composed, leaving room for plates, serving dishes, and glassware, while the more decorative part of the design is displayed along the sides of the table.
As a botanical linen tablecloth, Murge works beautifully in a bright kitchen, an informal dining room, or outdoors on a shaded terrace. Its natural palette also makes it an inviting Mediterranean tablecloth for summer lunches, garden gatherings, and relaxed entertaining.
The pattern already gives the table a strong identity, so it needs little decoration. Simple ceramics, clear glassware, and a few natural elements are enough to create a warm, thoughtful setting.
Prewashed linen made in Italy by L’Arcolaio
The Murge linen tablecloth by L’Arcolaio is produced by the Italian textile company based in Abruzzo. La Bottega di Casa selects and retails the finished product and does not claim its design or production.
Murge is a 100% prewashed linen tablecloth made in Italy. The prewashing process gives the fabric a softer hand and a less rigid appearance than traditional crisp linen, enhancing its drape and natural texture.
Subtle variations in the surface are characteristics of the natural fiber rather than imperfections. They add depth to the colors and distinguish a genuine 100% linen tablecloth from synthetic fabrics designed to imitate linen.
Murge is not coated with resin and has no stain-resistant treatment. It preserves the breathable texture and authentic feel of natural linen.
Murge is offered exclusively in the following standard dimensions:
| Shape | Metric size | Approximate US size |
|---|---|---|
| Square | 170 × 170 cm | 67 x 67 in |
| Rectangle | 170 × 240 cm | 67 x 94.5 in |
| Rectangle | 170 × 280 cm | 67 x 110 in |
| Rectangle | 170 × 320 cm | 67 x 126 in |
The square linen tablecloth measures 67 x 67 inches approximately and is intended for square tables. The other three options provide a rectangular linen tablecloth with an olive print for medium, long, or extra-long dining tables.
The largest option is a large Italian linen tablecloth measuring approximately 67 x 126 inches, suitable for a particularly long tabletop.
To determine the correct size, measure the length and width of the table and add twice your preferred drop to both dimensions. A drop of approximately 10–14 inches on every side will usually display both the green check pattern and olive border attractively.
The final measurement must correspond to one of the four available options. The length cannot be altered, and custom or round versions cannot be ordered.
For a quiet, coordinated setting, pair Murge with solid-color linen napkins in ivory, natural flax, or olive green.
White or cream porcelain, clear glassware, and restrained silver accents keep the table fresh and allow the botanical border to remain the focal point. For a more tactile Mediterranean setting, add handmade ceramics, terracotta, or natural wood.
In summer, Murge pairs naturally with white flowers and fresh greenery. For early fall dining, introduce ochre, warm brown, and other earthy shades that complement the olive green checks.
Machine wash at 105°F (40°C), preferably on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach, optical brighteners, or aggressive cleaning products on the printed design.
Air drying is recommended; do not tumble dry. For a smoother finish, iron the tablecloth while it is still slightly damp. If you prefer the softly crinkled character of prewashed linen, reshape it carefully after washing and use it with minimal ironing.
Treat spills promptly before washing and always follow the care instructions attached to the product.
