Description
This is the Shiraz runner in navy, a long narrow piece worked in a woven jacquard chenille-style fabric with a gold damask floral pattern reading across a deep navy ground. It measures 33 x 230cm, so it lays as a band across the foot of a bed or down the centre of a table rather than covering a whole surface. A large gold tassel hangs from each end, and the pattern is formed in the weave itself rather than printed on top, which is what gives the raised, textured feel across the design.
At 230cm long it spans the full width of a double or king bed with a little to spare at each side, and its 33cm depth sits neatly at the foot without swamping the duvet beneath. It works as a bed runner over plain bedding, where the gold floral pattern does the decorative work against a quiet background, and it suits a bedroom leaning towards a richer, more traditional look. The navy and gold pairing is easy to build around, sitting well with cream, deep reds and darker woods. The photograph shows it layered over navy bedding alongside a matching cushion.
The fabric is 100% polyester, which is hard-wearing, holds its colour and does not crease the way natural fibres do, so it drapes and settles back into shape after handling. The jacquard weave carries the gold pattern through the cloth, and the corded tassels at each end are the finishing detail, adding weight so the ends hang straight. Being polyester, it is a practical choice for a piece that gets folded back and replaced daily. The Shiraz name runs across a wider range of matching pieces, so a coordinating look can be pulled together if you want more than the runner alone.
