It could be a Phoenix ,a mythological bird said to emanate from fire.
Sometimes used to symbolise resurrection .

Welcome to RootsChat.

To be honest with you, I don't think it represents any crest at all.  From what I can see, it might be an example of blackwork cross-stitch embroidery using a stylised image.  I know someone who produces pieces similar to this and as you say they can be table runners, place mats or similar.

There may be other interpretations of course.
