Napery present with name on border (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

table linen

'napery' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'present with name on border' is the wordplay.
'present with' becomes 'table' (as in presenting or tabling a motion. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'border' becomes 'line'.
'n' after 'line' is 'linen'.
'table'+'linen'='TABLE-LINEN'

(Other definitions for table linen that I've seen before include "domestic textiles" , "Napkins, cloths, etc. for diners" .)
