Orange Couture Pure Brocade Silk Banarasi Table Runner View product →
Is this table runner reversible or single-sided? +
Like traditional Banarasi brocade, the motifs are woven face-forward for a defined right side, so it is best styled with that side up rather than treated as fully reversible. The zari work catches the most light and colour depth when laid flat under warm lighting, which is when the orange and gold contrast reads most vividly, ideal for festive dinners and celebration table settings.
