This Khayamiya table runner draws from Al-Tabaq Al-Najmi, a central star system that shaped Islamic decorative language across centuries in Egypt. Present in carved wooden minbars and architectural ceilings of the Mamluk period, this geometry introduced measured repetition and visual harmony into built environments.

Through Khayamiya appliqué, the architectural order becomes textile. Layers of durable polycotton are precisely cut and stitched by hand onto a reinforced base, preserving structural clarity and a firm, lasting finish. The ivory base brings lightness and contrast, allowing the burgundy and olive accents to feel structured yet contemporary, complementing modern dining and hosting spaces.

Every piece is hand-stitched using traditional Khayamiya techniques. Minor variations in detail are not flaws, but the natural signature of the artisan's hand—ensuring your piece is a unique work of art, never a mass-produced item.

This Khayamiya textile is crafted from polycotton and features a Najmi star geometry motif.
