About Polka Dots - SFERRA Bolero Polka Dot Napkins, Placemats and Table Runners

Q: Where does polka dot get its name?

A: A polka dot pattern consists of an array of filled circles, generally sized equally and spaced relatively close together. Polka dots come in a wide variety of color combinations and sizes. The pattern is definitely less formal and is usually intended to be more playful in nature.
Polka dots first became common on clothing in the late 1900s in the United Kingdom. Even though, polka dots are not closely related, it is thought that the pattern is named for the polka, a Central European dance that was all the rage at the time. Many other products and fashions of that era also adopted the polka name. But only the polka dot pattern remained popular, and the name has been left intact over the years.
Below is an image of SFERRA’s Bolero table linens (inspired by English artist, Damien Hirst), which feature polka dots in two color combinations – Spring Garden primary and Sea Glass pastel. Bolero is available in cocktail napkins, dinner napkins, placemats and runners, and it coordinates perfectly with SFERRA’s FestivalFiletto, Ascotand Piccadilly table linens:
