The ceremonial gold-laced belt worn by an Admiral of the Fleet—the highest rank in the Royal Navy—was designed to support a sword. Of course, raising a ceremonial sword today is purely symbolic; no duels are about to take place. India’s son, Felix, who designed this table runner, took inspiration from the intricate pattern of his great-grandfather’s belt and transformed it into an interlaced diamond design. Hand block printed on a luxurious cotton-linen blend, this table runner beautifully weaves a story of legacy and history into every thread—a timeless addition to your table setting.
