Description
This handwoven table runner brings graphic design to the table with a classic black-and-natural check pattern. Made from 100% organic cotton and woven on traditional looms in Kenya, the design has a subtle texture that gives the fabric depth.
Long enough for a dining table or sideboard, it works for everyday dining and can be layered with other table linens and a centerpiece for celebrations or holidays. Slight variations in the weave reflect the handmade process and give each runner its own character.
Museum Story
The National Museum of African Art began as a private educational institution in 1964 to promote cross-cultural understanding in the social sciences and arts. Founded by Warren M. Robbins, it was known as the Museum of African Art and located on Capitol Hill in a townhouse that had been the home of Frederick Douglass, the African American abolitionist and statesman. In 1979 the museum became part of the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research complex dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge.
