Melograno Bed Runner

Melograno Bed RunnerMelograno, the pomegranate, has grown in Puglia for as long as anyone can remember in walled gardens, along field edges, splitting open in the late summer heat. The motif and colours speak to us of our beloved Apulia, so when we found this opulent cloth, with its trailing pomegranates, blossom and stems worked in fine thread, it felt like ours, even though it came from elsewhere. Each bed runner is pure 100% wool, made from a bolt of C&C Milano fabric
