Description
The blackberry is a hedgerow fruit, wild and quiet, that stains the fingers so pleasantly at the end of summer. This cotton table runner beige and red makes it the subject: deep red blackberries set on a natural beige ground, in a soft, warm composition that smells of the country lane.
Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing is a craft handed down through generations. Every impression carries the small variations of the gesture, the mark of a genuinely handmade textile rather than an industrial print. The design is created in France, in the natural, warm spirit dear to the house.
Laid on bare wood, this runner echoes the tones of the timber and draws a soft line down the centre of the table. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it brings depth and a seasonal note. It comes into its own from late summer through autumn, near candles, stoneware and fuller dishes.
This cotton table runner beige and red is made to be used. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its colour, and it takes jam-making days and long family meals in its stride. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and its warmth.
It works especially well with stoneware, wood, linen and raw materials. You can pair it with the matching Blackberry napkins and tablecloth to compose the whole table around one motif.
Left alone on a wooden table, it brings the softness of the season without any effort.
An artisanal, natural and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables as honest as the produce they carry.
