EN: tablecloth; doily
That fancy cloth your lola or mom puts on the dining table or the 'aparador' that you're not allowed to spill anything on. It's usually made of crochet or has intricate embroidery. It's the furniture's OOTD.
From Spanish "tapete" (small rug, tapestry).
In the Philippines, it almost exclusively refers to a decorative tablecloth or a doily, not a floor rug.
🇵🇭 Paki-ayos ang tapete sa mesa bago dumating ang mga bisita.

🇵🇭 Ang ganda ng burda sa lumang tapete ni Lola.
