Know before you buy
These placemats are crafted from genuine mother of pearl tiles set onto a sturdy wood backing, providing a solid and luxurious feel.
Maintenance is simple. Just wipe the surface clean with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging them in water, as the wood backing is not waterproof.
While they are part of a holiday collection, their durable construction makes them suitable for any formal or elevated dining occasion. Because they are designed for indoor use only, they are best kept away from outdoor dining areas.
Yes, the 15-inch diameter provides a generous surface area that accommodates standard dinner plates while still allowing the intricate Byzantine pattern to show around the edges.
These placemats are designed as a decorative foundation for your table setting. We recommend using heat-resistant trivets for hot serving dishes to protect the mother of pearl and wood finish.
