The Simple Rectangular Linho Placemat aptly describes this shape, simple, but elegant enough for your formal dinner party. This placemat is a lovely rectangle with clean straight lines, made of the same beautiful 100% Portuguese linen and accented with a double embroidery border. They have a light acrylic coating so taking care of spills is easy. Just wipe with a damp cloth. For heavier stains, machine wash cold, on gentle cycle, air dry and press on the reverse side. Monograms are beautiful on the Linho mats and make them extra special. Linho mats are perfect for everyday use!
