Highland Cow Slate Table Runner

The Highland Cow Slate Table Runner is designed to be a standout piece of functional decor. Crafted from high-quality, natural slate, this runner instantly elevates the rustic elegance of your dining table. The centerpiece of this design is the beautifully detailed, hand-illustrated engraving of Scotland's beloved Highland Cow, adding a touch of whimsical country fun and personality to your meal settings.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this runner offers superior protection for your valuable furniture. Slate is naturally highly durable and heat-resistant, making it an excellent barrier against accidental scratches from centerpieces, flower vases, or condiment jars. Crucially, it is perfectly suited for handling hot serving dishes directly from the hob or oven. This heat-safe feature makes it indispensable for relaxed, 'help yourself' style family meals, allowing you to serve piping hot food immediately without damaging the table surface beneath.

Measuring 50x25cm, this table runner is versatile enough for various applications. While traditionally used lengthwise down the center of a table, it can also function as an oversized serving platter for cheeses or appetizers, or as a protective mat on sideboards or kitchen islands. Its robust construction ensures longevity, and the natural material means each runner possesses slight variations in texture and finish, guaranteeing that your piece is truly unique. For added peace of mind, the underside of the runner is fitted with protective pads to prevent the slate from scratching the surface of your table.
