Casparis felt-backed placemats are handcrafted in our own bindery in the United States and are a part of our Gallery Collection, which incorporates the same artisan skills used in centuries past to create beautiful and high-quality handmade goods. The top surfaces of our placemats are made from a durable faux leather with a felt backing. Each one is a lovely addition to any tabletop and keeps your table's surface clean and well protected.
