White Linen Table Runner with Lace and Openwork

This white linen table runner with lace and openwork is a centenary piece that carries the legacy of Portuguese textile craftsmanship. Entirely handmade, it combines bilros (bobbin lace) and open embroidery work, two delicate techniques traditionally passed through generations of women artisans.

The composition balances geometric motifs and floral structures, creating a pattern that feels both rhythmic and serene. Each lace panel and openwork detail was made with patient precision, revealing the mastery and time invested in every centimeter of fabric.

Crafted from 100% natural linen, the table runner has developed a soft patina that enriches its authenticity. The natural white tone highlights the intricacy of the lace and enhances the interplay of light through the openwork.

This white linen table runner can be used as a refined centerpiece on dining tables, consoles, or dressers — adding a layer of calm sophistication to any interior. Beyond decoration, it represents a fragment of Portuguese history: the coexistence of utility, art, and emotion.

Part of Dalila’s Collection III, this rare runner celebrates centenary textiles and the philosophy of circular design — preserving what was made to last. A testament to enduring beauty and craftsmanship.
