Fauna Blu Reale Linen Table Runner

Price range: $86.45 through $112.96

Fauna Blu Reale Linen Table Runner

This is not a print. It is the fabric itself that draws.

The Fauna Rustica butterflies emerge from the ground like luminous shadows — same thread, same linen, a different weave orientation that catches the light in the opposite direction.

Woven on ancient looms in central Italy in 100% pure linen. Each runner is cut from a continuous-pattern fabric: no two are identical.

Available in all Fauna Rustica collection colours and in custom sizes.

  • Composition: 100% lino
  • Tecnique: Damask, hand-woven on ancient looms, central Italy
  • Available in custom sizes for non-standard tables — contact info@labottegadicasa.com for a quote
  • Care: machine washable at 40°C, iron with steam while slightly damp — damask recovers its characteristic sheen with the heat of the iron

Description

Woven on antique looms in central Italy, using centuries-old techniques passed down from generation to generation, in 100% pure linen.

Each piece is cut from a continuous patterned fabric, making every runner unique — no two strips are exactly alike.

The Fabric

Damask is one of the oldest textile weaving techniques in the world—introduced to Europe by Arab merchants during the Middle Ages and refined in the great Italian weaving workshops of the Renaissance.

The pattern is not printed onto the fabric; it is created by the intricate interlacing of the threads themselves, giving it a richness, depth, and durability that no print can replicate. It will not fade or wear away—instead, it becomes even more beautiful with every wash.

How to Use It

A table runner is one of the most versatile accessories for dressing a table. Placed down the center of a solid-colored tablecloth, it adds character without overwhelming the setting. On a bare wooden table, it becomes the focal point while helping protect the surface. Layered, crossed, or overlapped on larger tables, it creates original, asymmetrical compositions with effortless style.

With Fauna Rustica, the butterflies take center stage—quite literally. They become the first detail guests notice when they sit down at the table, bringing movement, texture, and a touch of nature to every gathering.

The Colors

Available in all colors of the Fauna Rustica collection—the same shades featured in the coordinating placemats. Each color has been carefully chosen to complement the natural beauty of linen: Sagrantino, with its rich red and rose tones, brings warmth and vibrancy, while Blue adds depth and a fresh Mediterranean feel.

The remaining colors in the collection complete a versatile palette designed to suit every season and every table setting, making it easy to mix, match, and create a look that feels uniquely your own.

Styling Ideas

With the coordinating Fauna Rustica placemats
The perfect pairing: a runner down the center, placemats on either side. The same design, the same woven fabric, yet each piece is cut from a different section of the textile—making every item unique. The result is a table setting that feels instantly cohesive while retaining the charm and variety of handcrafted pieces.

With Vintage solid-color tablecloths
Placed over a solid linen tablecloth, the Fauna Rustica runner introduces pattern and texture without concealing the beauty of the fabric beneath. Sagrantino on an ivory or white tablecloth creates a warm, Mediterranean-inspired contrast. Blue on taupe-gray or natural linen brings a look that is both elegant and fresh.

With Vintage solid-color napkins
Matching the runner to the napkins creates a coordinated table with effortless sophistication. For a more understated look, choose neutral napkins in ivory, natural linen, or white and let the damask weave become the focal point of the setting.
