Coated Placemat, Manor Lane

Breakfast with children, or a table that takes candle wax and red wine. The placemats wipe down and go straight back.

Le Jacquard Français wove it at Gérardmer in the Vosges. Jacquard damask, so the hornbeam and bindweed pattern reads on both faces. Two layers of acrylic coating repel stains and water, so it wipes clean. 100% cotton, 20 x 14 in, in Coloquintes, an orange.

For the friend with small children. For your brother. For anyone who eats standing up.
