This lovely textile is a hand-woven, European Antique /  Vintage hemp hemp roll that was used to make very very heavy grain sacking fabric. This roll dates from the late 1800's, early 1900's!  ~*~this fabric has a wonderful dusty burgundy and deep inky blue stripe ( black/blue tone) as this lovely textile was woven by hand, there are some ties in the hem yarns in places that are the lovely dusty burgundy tone ( please see photographs) it may look like little marks in the photographs, however they are just the yarns of hem in the burgundy ~ a LOVELY rustic textile, full of French country charm ~*~ Beautiful for period / natural interiors! ~ ~ Stunning textile! ~  ~*~ ~   This textile is a wonderful very heavy weight, very durable! ~ *~ this roll was found in a very long length and I like to keep these textiles as intact as possible as some need a great deal of continuous yardage for their stairs. ! ~ Ideal for a natural home ~ ~ ~*~  ~*~* I have attached photographs to the end of a couple of my rolls used in some homes of my customers, you can see how lovely they look! I too love knowing that these textiles were produced without the use of chemicals so are totally natural, organic textiles~*~*for easy stair runner instructions, please see below~   ~*~** ~*~*~*

CONDITION : This roll is in original, unwashed, unused condition. There are few very  pale marks on this large lenght. I would really like to keep this long length intact for those who require long lengths, so please do email me if you would like to know the exact condition of your length, if this is important to you, I will email every last tiny mark! ~*~ ~

STAIR RUNNER INSTRUCTIONS: These textiles are built to withstand generations of use~  To measure your stairs, simply lay a piece of string and follow the entire area as the runner will lay, then simply measure the string! ~*~* ~*~  I have sold many many of these rolls as stair runners and people have raved about them for a very long time. Fitting is usually done with a thin felt underlay and then either tacked, nailed or stapled to the stairs or stair rods can be used. This roll would also be wonderful cut into smaller rugs, table runners, stair runners or hallway carpeting OR would make a very rustic table runner~ it has a wonderful unique look, very special indeed~*~ ~*~!!! It would  give so much warmth and flair to any room! ~*~  ( I have attached a couple of photographs of my runners in use~ so beautiful, so unique ~ a lovely piece of textile history; brought back to add beauty to our lives today~*~ ) These heavy textiles are far better to either dry clean or spot clean as needed. If laying as a stair runner, simply treat as you would any other rug to clean! ~

~*~These textiles are, by nature, extremely Eco-friendly! The average age of these textiles is 100 years and they were naturally home grown, home retted ( in local lakes and ponds) and woven by hand. These textiles are being re-cycled today and showing off  the extreme craftsmanship of past generations! Yet another feature that makes these textiles extremely eco-friendly is their durability. These textiles were designed to endure generations of constant use~ and will have an extremely long life. The timeless beauty of this linen and their  extraordinary quality make these textiles the perfect choice for any home~ and an environmentally friendly choice~*~

  All of my linen rolls are produced using natural fibers. Natural fibers have the irregularities and subtleties that are inherent ...adding to their rustic charm~*~
