Arlecchino Dorato Tessitura Couture Pure Brocade Silk Banarasi Table Runner
View product →
How do I style a multicolour runner without it clashing with my table setting? +
Because the colour shifts are woven directly into the silk rather than printed, the palette reads as rich rather than busy, and pairs well with plain gold, cream, or dark wood tableware that lets the runner remain the visual centrepiece. Keeping surrounding décor simple, single-colour napkins, brass accents, plain candles lets the woven motifs and colour transitions stand out without competing.
Arlecchino Imperiale Manotessuta Couture Pure Brocade Silk Banarasi Table Runner
View product →
Can this piece be used as a small wall hanging instead of on a table? +
Absolutely, many customers choose this square format for framing or displaying on a wall or console rather than only table use, since the dense, symmetrical medallion layout reads well as a standalone piece. It works equally well as a table topper, a tray liner, or a small decorative textile, whichever suits your space best.

View product →
What tableware and lighting brings out this piece best? +
The deep maroon and black tones come alive under warm, low lighting such as candlelight, which makes the rose and cream zari motifs glow against the dark ground. Gold or brass tableware complements it especially well, and it makes a striking base for an evening dinner or festive celebration table.

View product →
What occasions or seasons does this warm-toned piece suit best? +
The amber and gold palette lends itself especially well to festive occasions, autumn table styling, and warm celebration dinners, though it works year-round as a rich accent piece. It pairs naturally with copper, brass, or wood tableware and warm candlelight, and makes a thoughtful gift for housewarming or festive hosting.
Arlecchino Splendido Manofatta Couture Pure Brocade Silk Banarasi Table Runner
View product →
Will the colour transition look uneven or patchy once laid out? +
The gradient is intentional and woven directly into the silk, so it reads as a deliberate, flowing colour shift rather than an inconsistency. Because it's a handloom piece, exact transition points can vary slightly from what's pictured, which is part of the natural character of raw handwoven silk. Once laid flat across a table, the shift becomes a striking focal feature rather than something to disguise.

Aurea Solare Tanchui Couture Pure Silk Banarasi Saree
View product →
Is this shade of yellow suited to a haldi ceremony? +
