The Tuscany Marble Place Mat And Coaster Set is hand made in the UK from Carrara marble. Carrara marble is exclusively indigenous to the rock faces of Tuscany, Italy, and is an infusion of blue, grey, green and white swirls of compound metamorphic calcite. Carrara marbles distinctive colours come from the presence of high levels of Serpentine (an iron/magnesium based mineral) within its rock structure, and is formed over thousands of years. The resulting place mats really are something special to feature on your dining table, and needless to say that no two are the same
HAND-MADE TO ORDER IN THE UK cut, filed, and washed in Northampton from raw marble imported from the quarries of Carrara, Italy
SETS AVAILABLE
SIX SET - 6 place mats and 6 coasters
EIGHT SET - 8 place mats and 8 coasters
PROTECTIVE UNDERSIDE all place mats and coasters have rubberoid feet on the bottom side to protect the table they sit on
HEAT RESISTANT marble is naturally very heat resistant, providing ample protection for your table from hot plates and other receptacles
EASY CLEAN marble is a non-porous rock, so cleaning its smooth, impenetrable surface is easily achieved with a warm, damp cloth
13MM GAUGE AND VERY HEAVY all mats are of 13mm gauge, making each thick, dense piece very heavy. This assures the longevity of the place mats, although customers need to take care when receiving their delivery and with the handling of them during use. Dropping a place mat will devastate the surface it lands on
DIMENSIONS place mats: 20 x 30cm, coasters: 10 x 10cm
NOTES ABOUT COLOUR the place mats contain swirls and interpolations of blue, grey, green and white marble, with the overall colour effect from a distance being black, due to the higher presence of deep blue and grey colours. Colour variations, however, will occur and are an integral part of the nature of the product
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE ORDERING we can't stress enough that our marble place mats are made from natural marble, not mainstream re-constituted quartz. For these reasons, each set is entirely unique, and we kindly ask customers to understand that we are unable to control the colour consistency of the set they receive. In fact, we believe this would actually defy the point of the product, and its inherent natural beauty |
