A beautifully preserved vintage handmade table runner, hand-embroidered in true counted stitch, not stamped or pre-printed.
This is a genuine handmade textile from a family collection, worked by hand in a refined Byzantine-inspired geometric motif reminiscent of decorative mosaic and ornamental floor patterns.
The design is defined by strong symmetry, geometric structure, and repeating medallion-like forms, enriched with metallic gold-tone thread details that add depth, light, and decorative richness.
Unlike fully covered embroidery, this piece combines carefully placed hand embroidery with visible ground fabric, giving it an elegant and balanced decorative character while still reflecting skilled and time-intensive workmanship.
The counted technique and the metallic thread details make the piece more demanding to execute than ordinary decorative embroidery.
The runner is finished with backing / lining, which adds structure, stability, and a neat presentation.
Approximate size: 39 x 80 cm.
A distinctive vintage textile, ideal as a decorative table runner, a handmade folk-style accent, or a refined addition to classic, rustic, or heritage-inspired interiors.
