The ceremonial gold-laced belt worn by an Admiral of the Fleet—the highest rank in the Royal Navy—was designed to support a sword. Of course, raising a ceremonial sword today is purely symbolic; no duels are about to take place. India’s son, Felix, who designed this tablecloth, took inspiration from the intricate pattern of his great-grandfather’s belt and transformed it into an interlaced diamond design.

Embroidered on a luxurious off-white cotton-linen blend, this tablecloth beautifully weaves a story of legacy and history into every thread—a timeless addition to your table setting.
