Gift Boxed Stain resistant Heat resistant Since 1933 Pimpernel have been making placemats and coasters so they know a thing or two about them! The brand is now recognised as one of the market leaders in the table top accessories market and is always innovative with new designs and patterns. Portmeirion Potteries now own the Pimpernel mat brand and continue to take it from strength to strength. The quality of each Pimpernel tablemat and coaster is outstanding, using a 5mm board which is topped with a unique artistic print design, then sealed with a high quality lacquer finish. This lacquer finish protects the mats from staining and is also heat resistant to 100 degrees centigrade. The whole placemat is then finished with a hard wearing cork backing to protect against scratching furniture surfaces. This Pimpernel Set of 4 Parisian Scenes Large Tablemats with the matching coasters and tablemats make very good value gifts and add a little bit of charm and character to your formal or everyday table setting.
