Khamma Ghani Kambadiya Table Runner Purple

What colours does this runner have?

A plain purple border frames patchwork panels in violet, pink, teal and yellow, with gold trims running between them. The mix is bright and playful, and the purple frame pulls the varied colours together into one look.

How will it look in my home?

Purple and teal add a jewel-toned accent to a white, grey or light wood table. It also looks good on a dark wood sideboard or console, and pairs with silver, glass or white serveware for a fresh, colourful setting.

Who makes it?

It is sourced directly from the Keshav embroidery cooperative in Barmer, where artisans join small pieces of fabric on a pure cotton runner and finish them with hand embroidery. Small irregularities in the stitching are a natural part of that handwork.

What size is it?

It is 14 x 60 inches. That is long enough to run down the centre of most dining tables and fits neatly on a sideboard, console or the foot of a bed as a decorative throw strip.

Can I place hot dishes on it?

Use a trivet or mat under hot serving dishes. The embroidered panels are hand-stitched and textured, so they are not a flat, heat-proof surface, and a mat also keeps spills from soaking into the stitching.
