Genuine zari can dull slightly with age, humidity, or repeated handling, which is normal for hand-woven metallic thread work. To keep it looking its best, store the runner flat or loosely rolled in a breathable cloth, away from direct humidity, and avoid ironing directly over the zari sections. Occasional gentle airing helps maintain the shine, and dry cleaning is recommended over any home washing.

At roughly 1.15 by 1.10 metres, this runner suits a standard six-to-eight seat dining table when placed centrally, or works equally well as a decorative table topper for smaller round tables. For longer tables, it can be used as a central accent piece layered under a centrepiece rather than running end to end. As with all our brocade pieces, we recommend dry cleaning only to preserve the zari work.

The panels are woven and joined by hand, so while the overall composition is balanced, slight variations between individual blocks are part of the handloom character rather than a flaw. This is typical of raw pieces fresh from weaving, and any final alignment or finishing happens during the post-order polishing stage before dispatch, ensuring the runner lies flat and even on the table.

The colour is woven directly into the silk rather than dyed on the surface, so it holds its tone well with proper care. As with all pure silk pieces, we recommend dry cleaning only and keeping it away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use, which helps preserve the softness of the pastel palette for years.

This particular piece leans toward a saturated teal-turquoise rather than the deeper royal or pastel periwinkle blues found elsewhere in our collection, giving it a brighter, more vivid character. It suits both traditional and contemporary table settings, and pairs especially well with gold, cream, or coral accents for a fresh, festive look.

Yes — blue's cool, versatile tone paired with hand-loomed Bandhani patterning on this Banarasi saree offers a striking, designer-worthy look for festive gatherings and parties.
