Online Trudie Beatrice Chocolate Floral Scalloped Quilted Placemat

A quilted placemat does two jobs a flat one cannot: it protects the table from heat and it gives the setting some physical presence, so a simple plate reads as a considered place setting. This one pairs a rich chocolate floral with a scalloped edge, warm enough to anchor a bare wood table and quiet enough to sit under patterned china.

Quilted placemats are generally the more practical choice for everyday use, because the batting absorbs heat and moisture that a single layer of cotton passes straight through to the wood. This one measures 14 inches by 20 inches and is machine washable, so it can stay on the table through weekday breakfasts rather than living in a drawer until a holiday.

Perfect for: fall tablescapes, Thanksgiving dinner, everyday family meals, dinner parties, holiday gatherings, and print-mixed table settings.

Layer it with the coordinating brown floral ruffled napkins, or mix it into a table alongside nutmeg and goldenrod linens. Browse the rest of the to build a full set.
