Black napkins

Black-ground napkins in cotton twill, dinner and cocktail sizes. The practical argument for black is that it hides red wine; the aesthetic one is that it makes everything else on the table look more deliberate.

Frequently asked questions

Do black napkins really hide stains?

They hide red wine and dark sauces, which is most of what a dinner table produces. They show grease marks and lint more than a pale napkin does — so wash on a cold cycle without fabric softener and keep them off a wool tablecloth.

When would I choose black over white?

Evening meals, dark wood, and any table where the crockery is the thing you want people to look at. White crockery against a black napkin is the sharpest contrast available on a table.

Which size?

Both are available: 22″ × 22″ for a seated dinner, 10″ × 10″ for drinks. Black works especially well at cocktail size, where a stack of dark napkins reads as deliberate.
