Green and red renoncule table runner

The ranunculus is a flower of countless petals, gathered into a full, almost sculptural bloom. This cotton table runner green and red makes it the centrepiece: generous red flowers carried by green foliage, in a dense, joyful motif that runs the length of the table like a bouquet laid flat.

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 human gesture, the very thing that sets a handmade textile apart from an industrial print. The design is created in France, in the warm, floral spirit that runs through the whole collection.

A runner is the simplest way to dress a table without covering it. Laid on bare wood, it warms the surface and leaves the grain visible at either side. Over a white or natural tablecloth, it brings a second layer of colour and gives the setting a clear axis. On a long table it frames dishes and candlesticks, on a sideboard it turns an empty surface into something composed.

This cotton table runner green 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 crumbs, spills and family meals in its stride.

You can pair it with the matching Ranunculus napkins and tablecloth for a table dressed in one motif, or set it against plain white china to let the flowers do the talking.

Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and its brightness for years.

An artisanal, colourful and generous piece of table linen, for anyone who likes tables that feel alive and gatherings that go on a little longer than planned.
