Most of the runner is covered with this high quality decoration, as can be seen from the photos. It is then finished off with a handmade lace edging, again of a high quality.When I acquired this runner it was rolled around a cardboard tube and wrapped in tissue paper, and seems to be unused. I bought a great quantity of items (napkins, tablecloths, bedspreads, guest towels etc) from the estate sale of a great embroiderer, some of which I have already listed;  so I am unsure whether she made it herself and didn't use it, or if she received it as a gift and deemed it too good to use.See the photos for evidence of this high quality craftmanship.Colour: Snowy whiteDimensions Runner:  Width 51cm x 132cm long or 20" x 52"Condition: Seemingly unused and perfectFrom a smoke free householdShipping is by Registered Post, but Economy Rate is available without insurance for $8 to USA, please ask.Do visit my shop for more French finds and patchwork quilts!Most of the items that I list will be vintage or used, so may show signs of their previous history, which is the whole charm of these pre-loved items. If you are looking for a pristine, unused item, then my finds are probably not for you.I do my best to describe their condition accurately. Generally I find that these items have been cherished possessions at a time when people did not live in such a throwaway society, so they made things to last, and took care of them.
