Know before you buy
Yes, the mahogany boards are sustainably harvested and finished to be food-safe, making them suitable for serving cheeses, charcuterie, or prepping cocktail garnishes.
Because these placemats are crafted from natural native fibers like Bayal and Mimbre, they should be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth rather than submerged in water or machine washed to preserve their shape and integrity.
Due to the mouth-blown nature of the recycled glass, we recommend hand washing the decanter with warm, soapy water to prevent thermal shock and protect the unique finish of the glass.
The apron features a genuine leather strap that should be removed before laundering the linen portion. We recommend machine washing the linen on a gentle cycle and air drying, while the leather can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth.
While the boards are durable and functional, they are primarily designed for serving and light prep work. To maintain the wood's appearance, we recommend using them for cheese, fruit, or bread rather than heavy-duty meat carving.
The decanter stands 11.5 inches tall and is designed to hold a standard 750ml bottle of wine or spirits comfortably, making it a functional centerpiece for your bar cart.
