It's not place settings or individual tablecloths, a but second and smaller tablecloth, maybe in a different colour on top of the large one (hasta el piso)

tablecloth and overlaid tablecloth

Explanation:
This is my guess, as in those ornate settngs where there is a large tablecloth draped with another, slightly smaller tablecloth, and perhaps (but not necessarily) of a contrasting colour. But I'm talking about 2 full-sized tablecloths of different sizes, rather than a normal tablecloth with cloths for place settings or a runner on top...

An extremely ornate one can be see here, but they can look quite elegant

tablecloth and over-cloth

Explanation:
essentially these are tables with two tablecloths - one below and another (more elegant) on top. See pix in links. Hyphen seems to be optional!

"The David Collins interior has remained intact. It is still sophisticated and dramatic yet warm and clubby; still very grown up. The belle époque theme is embodied by rich claret colouring, characteristic of Pétrus wine itself. The deep Burgundy walls and well-padded plum armchairs are contrasted against crisp white, double-layered tablecloths." http://foodsnobblog.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/marcus-wareing-...
