Le Jacquard Français, Bastide Coated Ivory Placemat, Set of 4

Le Jacquard Francais applies two layers of clear acrylic to 100% cotton tablecloths in order to make them stain resistant and water repellent. Wipe clean with damp cloth or sponge.

For over 130 years, Le Jacquard-Francais have been committed to the artful preservation of the technique of “jacquard” weaving in France. Invented in the 19th century by Joseph-Marie Jacquard, it automates the weaving of a damask fabric. "Damask" is a fabric whose designs are visible on both the front and the back.

Their Masters of Linen certified cotton and linen threads are made with the longest fibres, which are rarer and of better quality, allowing for more intense colours. These fin, combed threads give the patterns an incomparable shine and precision.
More than 40 colours are developed every year. Each thread colour is tested against light and UV rays to meet quality standards.
