This vintage linen and lace table runner measures 16" x 44" and and is dyed with madder root extract to achieve it's soft and varied rosy hue. Look closely to see the incredible hand-worked gents and maidens at either end of the piece - this is the first time I have ever seen such work - so charming!
This piece has been hand selected and dyed by ELLStudios. It is truly one of a kind and ready to become part of your own heirloom collection. That said, we are big fans of daily use - under a centerpiece, along your plant shelf to set off your favorite plants, put across a shelf and layer your favorite treasures on top - give yourself permission to enjoy the special every day!
madder root: 'Madder is one of the oldest known dyestuffs. It is used to produce turkey reds, mulberry, orange-red, and terracotta and has excellent light and washfast properties.' - Maiwa Guide To Natural Dyes
details: The natural dyes used in our studio do not contain chemical colors and are not harmful to the environment. Do be prepared for some natural variation in color as this is part of the unpredictable beauty of working with plant dyes. Each vintage hand-worked piece may also show some variation in continuity of stitching - all part of what we consider the inherent charm of this project and these resultant pieces!
