Vintage Washed Linen Table Runner

Vintage washed linen table runner in 100% flax, double-stonewashed for the heirloom look — softer, slubbier and more antique-feeling than the standard washed flax. Our vintage washed linen table runner is 13–14 in. wide in lengths 72 / 90 / 108 / 120 in., ready-aged.

Vintage is a finish, not a fake

A vintage washed linen table runner is genuinely aged, not printed to look aged. Ours goes through a double-stonewash cycle with volcanic pumice at the mill — the same mechanical softening as our standard washed range, run twice. The result is a cloth that feels like it has already had ten years of family Sundays.

Double-stonewashed 100% flax

No chemical softeners, no silicone coatings, no faking. Twice as long in the pumice tumbler, so the fibres open up further and the slub reads more pronounced. Perfect for cottage, eclectic and heirloom-styled tables.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a linen runner “vintage washed”?

Extra stonewash cycles at the mill — ours is double-tumbled with volcanic pumice. It softens the fibre further and pulls the slub forward.

Vintage or standard washed — how different?

Vintage is noticeably softer to the hand and shows more slub texture. Standard washed is soft, vintage is heirloom-soft.

Does vintage linen crease more?

It embraces creasing — the look is meant to be lived-in. Skip the iron and it reads properly vintage.

Best table for a vintage washed runner?

Reclaimed wood, cottage, eclectic mixed dining. Not modern minimal — too much texture.
