Pimpernel Classic Black Set of 4 Placemats – (15.7" x 11.7") 5mm Cork-Backed Board with Lacquered Finish & Exclusive Art Print, Heat & Stain Resistant Decorative Dining Table Mats

Because of my arthritis, I decided to change my daily dishes from heavier earthenware dishes to very lightweight Corelle dishes which are a very pure white and much whiter than the other dishes I was replacing. Therefore, I had to get new table mats these beautiful black with gold, trim mats, cork, from Pimperel. I have had other Pimpernel mats before and I’ve loved them so I knew I would love these too and I really do. It turns out that I like the look of my table now more than I did before and I’m really shocked! I have added a photo so you can see that the color all works together between the oriental rug below the table, the dishes, and what I have on the turntable Lazy Susan, which is black as well. I love love love these cork table mats! They’re so easy to clean, just wipe them with a damp sponge and then dry them off with a paper towel and they look very elegant.

Quality placemats. Classic style. Purchased with matching coasters.

I was surprised to see this on Amazon, but they are exactly what I was looking for. They seem to be sturdy and with proper care they should last quite some time.

I have used Pimpemel coasters for years which have held up beautifully. I was delighted to find placemats by the same company! They wipe off easily and are a perfect size. They look incredible on our newly refinishes pine harvest table. Will definitely purchase more.

I have been purchasing Pimpernel place mats for 25-30 years made in England. China is making them now and they are the worst. As you can see I have had them for 2 months and each of them has something wrong...scratches and nicks. we a senior adults and are very careful with them. I just ordered faux leather ones which I hope I can live with. Gwen Elz

I love the design of these, and the cork backing, but I was hoping they would be of higher quality than they are. The issue is the laquer finish layer. It's already chipped in some places. It also gets watermarks really easily that cannot be scrubbed away. By way of minor aesthetic critique, there appears to be a white paint layer below the green, which shows on the edges where board was cut away (you can see the edge I'm talking about in the photo - it looks like a reflection, but it's the white paint). If I were the manufacturer, I'd maybe ditch the laquer finish and try some plastic laminant?

Good quality, but expensive .

These are a nice thickness and add a touch of elegance while protecting my table.

Guter, haltbarer und preiswerter Artikel

Good. Only problem is they sell place mats as box of four while the coasters are sets of six. I had to buy for eight sitting 2 boxes of place mats and two boxes of coasters.

Ben confezionati. Puntualissimi con la consegna. Li ho desiderati molto , ma non si trovavano . Li ho seguiti per tre mesi. Ora sonno in bella mostra sul tavolo da pranzo

They are stunning

Well made and thicker than some other cork mats we have had . Very elegant on table when not in use. Liked so much bought another set of 4 as backup in case one was ever damaged by some mishap.
