Kikyoya Yukiwa Nishijin Ori Short Table Runner
This "Yukiwa" short table runner is an exquisite piece of Japanese craftsmanship that beautifully decorates a table. This size is ideal for placing under a centerpiece on a dining table or on a display cabinet.
"Yukiwa" is the name of for the pattern that resembles a snowflake. The large "yukiwa" pattern is used to outline the various floral designs such as chrysanthemums, camellias and plum blossoms. The flowers are intricately woven into the brocade with the golden thread giving a three-dimensional look to the whole table runner. The table runner shines elegantly under lighting and is definitely an eye-catching item for any table.
And what makes these table runners especially unique are the tassels at each end. The thread used for the tassels are dyed to match the pattern of the table runners and then braided by hand. Matching the radiant and exquisite beauty of the runner, the tassels add an extra touch of elegance to the table.
The fabric is double-lined and can be used on both sides. It is sturdy and durable and also water-resistant which makes it easy to care for. In case of any kind of soiling or staining, lightly tap the fabric with a moistened towel to remove the dirt.
Handle the table runner with care to avoid the threads from snagging. When removing the table runner from the box, the runner may have some folding creases. Place a thin cloth over the table runner to iron out any creases.
