Offers Antique Hemp Table Stair Runner textile by yard European fabric material French country shabby chic Cottage style The Textile Trunk

~*~ offers Hello and Welcome to the Textile Trunk! ~*~

I'm selling this bolt PER ONE YARD length ( please see the measurement section below) ~*~ This bolt has an open weave, so it's important to read my description well to be sure this is right for your project !*~ Well and truly one of the BEST antique hemp bolts I've ever found! I purchased this bolt from a private collection, I felt very fortunate to have been offered it! ~*~ This bolt is hand woven hemp and dates c1850 or older. It was used for grain sacking material, hand woven on family farms. Today , they are fabulous used as table runner fabric or Stair runner fabric. This bolt has a VERY nubby weave, with GORGEOUS indigo blue stripes down the middle. The weave on this bolt is medium open. Because of this, it would make a fabulous stair runner for light traffic interiors, however if you have many dogs and small children, I would not recommend this bolt as the dog nails may pull the weave! This bolt would make a FABULOUS table runner!! It's course, slightly stiff and truly GORGEOUS. This textile would add so much texture to any interior. The tone of the ground is a dark nutty tone! I use a runner nearly identical to this only with a green stripe, in my home. I like to dry clean it as washing could cause it to crease, so now and then I just dry clean it. I prefer to keep it as similar to original as possible so for this runner by far better to dry clean.
Nothing short of Spectacular~ ~ one of the very best of my 23 year career! ~*~ ( please read measurement section carefully)

STAIR RUNNER INSTRUCTIONS: These textiles are built to withstand generations of use~ To measure your stairs, simply lay a piece of string and follow the entire area as the runner will lay, then simply measure the string! ~*~* ~*~ I have sold many many of these rolls as stair runners and people have raved about them for a very long time. Fitting is usually done with a thin felt underlay and then either tacked, nailed or stapled to the stairs or stair rods can be used. This roll would also be wonderful cut into smaller rugs, table runners, stair runners or hallway carpeting OR would make a very rustic table runner~ it has a wonderful unique look, very special indeed~*~ ~*~!!! It would give so much warmth and flair to any room! ~*~ ( I have attached a couple of photographs of my runners in use~ so beautiful, so unique ~ a lovely piece of textile history; brought back to add beauty to our lives today~*~ ) These heavy textiles are far better to either dry clean or spot clean as needed. If laying as a stair runner, simply treat as you would any other rug to clean! ~
