I believe the answer is:

antimacassar

(Other definitions for antimacassar that I've seen before include "Chair back protector" , "Protective cloth on upholstered seat" , "Protective chair cover" , "Covering to protect the back of a chair from hair oils" , "Cloth protecting chair from grease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
