Why Choose a Damask Table Runner

Most people have heard of Damask table runners, but many still wonder what exactly the fabric is. Damask is a luxurious looking fabric woven in such a way that designs (often florals or geometric pattern) are interwoven into the fabric itself. It gives a very tight weave. It originated in the Middle Ages in Islamic countries and this weaving technique was most prevalent in the city of Damascus, from which came the name.Any type of thread can be used to produce this fabric, silk, cotton and linen are the most often used for table runners, curtains, and upholstery fabrics.

If you choose to buy damask table runners you will probably think that they are elegant, shimmering, or even iridescent. All these qualities come from the density of the weaving. It also gives the runners a high end look even when they are inexpensive, and you can use them for any occasion, including the most elegant dinner settings.

Price range for Damask table runners is pretty wide, some inexpensive runners can be found as well as some very expensive models. One thing that benefits the average shopper is that production methods have greatly improved and has forced priced down. You can find a good table runner for as little as $10 and sometimes you can even find cheap table runners below that. If, however, you are so inclined, you can spend over $100 for a brand name runner with the special Armani touch. Most damask table runners will cost between $15 and $30 on the average. As I said, today’s Damask is made differently and the use of synthetic fiber have also increased usability. Today’s Damask table runners are washable and easy to care for. Choosing Damask is a good option as you will be able to find a variety of colors that will enhance your table with beautiful shimmering effects on special holidays as well as making ordinary days not so ordinary.
