Description
Christmas has its own colours, motifs and little characters. This Christmas placemat gathers their spirit: small rabbits nestled in the snow, on a warm red ground, in a tender, festive motif that dresses the table for the season.
Each piece is hand block-printed on good-quality cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where block printing is a craft handed down through generations. Every impression carries the small variations of the gesture, the mark of a genuinely handmade textile rather than an industrial print. The design is created in France, in the warm spirit dear to the house.
A placemat is the simplest way to dress a festive table without covering it entirely. Set on bare wood, it warms the timber and gives each guest a place of their own. Over a plain tablecloth, it adds a square of red that carries candles, fir branches, pine cones and festive china beautifully.
On a long table, the repeated motif creates a warm rhythm for the whole gathering.
This Christmas placemat is made for real use, and not just for the day itself. The cotton is hard-wearing and machine washable, it grows softer with time while keeping its colour, and it takes long festive meals in its stride. Washed at thirty degrees and ironed while still slightly damp, it keeps its shape and its warmth for many seasons.
It also makes a ready-made Christmas gift, warm and useful, for anyone who loves to entertain. You can pair it with the matching Snow Rabbit napkins and tablecloth.
Stored flat between seasons, it comes out year after year with the same warmth.
An artisanal, festive and hard-wearing piece of table linen, for anyone who likes Christmas tables that feel handmade rather than bought in a hurry.
