If you have been searching for a botanical print linen tablecloth where the design covers the entire cloth — not a stripe, not a border, but a full garden — Pansée Allover is what you are looking for. Watercolour pansies in cornflower blue, indigo, warm brown, and ochre cover the fabric in a continuous allover pattern: large flowers and small ones, open blooms and buds, with olive and grey-green foliage between them. The ground is natural, unbleached linen, emerging between the flowers like the white of a cloudy sky between branches. The style is that of a period botanical illustration — broad brushstrokes, shadows built through transparency, contours that dissolve at the edges — but the scale is that of a table: generous, abundant, visible across a courtyard.
The design does not stop at the edge of the table: the side drop carries the motif downward, and the flowers continue all the way to the hem. On a round table, as in the image, the effect is of a garden wrapping itself around the table from every side.
The Pansée Allover design is an exclusive La Bottega di Casa creation.
As with all natural linen products, small fibre irregularities may be visible — slubs, weave variations, slight differences in thread thickness. These are not flaws: they are the signature of natural fabric, and part of what gives the cloth its character.
In the image the tablecloth dresses a round table in a Provençal stone courtyard: ancient stone, blue shutters, terracotta pots, wrought iron chairs. It is the ideal setting — and at the same time only one of many possible settings. Pansée Allover has the quality of great botanical prints: it adapts effortlessly to a rustic interior, a contemporary dining room, a garden table, or a covered terrace.
The dominant blue of the design converses naturally with the blue of limestone, the green of plants, and the brown of aged wood. But it works equally well in a white interior, where the contrast between a rich print and a neutral wall creates a very modern visual tension. This is a tablecloth that brings personality to the table without needing to be supported by other decorative elements — a terracotta jug and two glasses, as in the image, are entirely enough.
Because allover is the most generous format for a print: there is no right or wrong direction, no centre to centre on the table, no stripe to align. You lay it, it falls, and the design simply works. For those with irregular tables, round tables, oval tables, or garden tables where symmetry is not guaranteed, allover is the freest and most practical choice.
Because this is an exclusive design — conceived and illustrated specifically for the La Bottega di Casa catalogue and available nowhere else. Because every Pansée Allover tablecloth is hand-cut and finished with mitered corners in our atelier in Follina (Treviso).
And because this machine washable linen tablecloth is durable and sustainable: it improves with every wash, and the character of the natural fabric becomes more beautiful over time.
Natural linen napkins or solid-coloured napkins in cornflower blue, slate grey, or antique white complete the table without competing with the print. For those who enjoy a more elaborate mise en place, white ceramics with a cobalt blue border are the most successful pairing — they echo the tones of the design without overlapping with it.
Pansée Allover works very well with the double tablecloth technique: used as the upper printed layer over a grey or lavender vintage linen base, it allows the base to show at the sides in a natural, carefully considered layering effect. Grey vintage base softens the intensity of the design for those who prefer a quieter register; lavender amplifies it and draws out the blue-violet tones.
For round tables, Pansée Allover is also available as a round linen tablecloth up to 170 cm (67″) in diameter, made to order — as the image shows, the round format is particularly well-suited to an allover design, which wraps the table without interruption on every side.
La Bottega di Casa is an Italian home linen atelier based in Follina (Treviso, Veneto).
Since 2000, a second store in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, has brought the Italian linen tradition to a discerning international clientele. La Bottega di Casa branded products — including the Pansée collection — are hand-cut and finished with mitered corners in our Italian atelier.

What is the difference between Pansée Allover and other Pansée versions? The Allover version has the pansy motif distributed across the entire surface of the fabric, with no centre or preferred direction. Other versions of the Pansée design may feature the motif concentrated in a central stripe. Allover is the freer, more versatile choice — particularly well-suited to round tables and to those who do not want to think about tablecloth orientation.
Does the print fade with washing? Digital print on linen is designed to withstand repeated machine washes at 40°C (104°F). Over time the colour acquires a subtle patina consistent with the watercolour aesthetic — not a flaw, but part of the character of the cloth. Do not bleach.
Can I order the Pansée Allover as a round tablecloth? Yes. Available as a round linen tablecloth up to 170 cm (67″) in diameter, made to order. As the image shows, a round table is particularly well-suited to an allover design — the flowers wrap the table without interruption on every side, with no alignment required.
Can I order a custom size for a large or extra large table? Yes. We make almost any size on request, depending on the width of the fabric available. Contact us with your exact table measurements and we will confirm what is possible.
What table setting works best with Pansée Allover? The simpler the better. White or blue-bordered ceramics, transparent glassware, neutral cutlery. The richness of the allover print does not need support from additional decorative elements — the less you add, the more the design comes forward. A single terracotta jug and two glasses, as in the image, is a perfect example.
