These woven straw placemats are braided, not flat woven, and braiding makes a thicker, tighter mat than a flat weave, so each one sits flat, keeps its shape and takes the clatter out of setting a plate on a bare wooden or stone table. The braid is coiled into a circle, which gives texture across the whole mat and leaves no cut edge to fray.

Four covers a family table, eight handles the weekend when the in-laws visit, and twelve is for anyone with a long table who fills it. Buy for the people who actually sit down, plus spares, so the table still matches after red wine finds one of them. Round table mats like these sit well with wood, stoneware and linen; on glass they are the warmth the surface lacks, and the pale braid lifts a dark stained table.

Braided straw, round, with a pale matte surface and slight variation between mats. Sets of 4, 8 or 12, so the whole table matches. Spot clean only, using a barely damp cloth on spills, then dry flat away from direct heat. Water, the dishwasher and the washing machine are all off limits. Store them flat in a stack, and clear crumbs with a dry hand or soft brush rather than shaking, which loosens the braid.

Woven Straw Placemat Set, Round Braided Rattan Table Mats for Dining Table, Set of 4, 8 or 12

Why it earns its place

Four, eight or twelve

Buy the number that matches how many people actually sit down, plus spares if you host.

Quiet on the table

Straw takes the clatter out of setting down a plate, which a bare wooden or stone table never does.

Braided, round

The braid is coiled into a circle, so there is texture across the whole mat and no cut edge to fray.

In your home

On a dining table the set of four covers a family table, eight does the weekend when the in-laws come, and twelve is for people who own a long table and use it. Keep the spares in a drawer and the set still matches after one mat meets a glass of red.

Straw sits well with a wooden table, stoneware and linen. On a glass table the mats are the warmth the surface lacks, and on a dark stained table the pale braid lifts the whole setting. They also work under a fruit bowl or a plant pot when the table is not laid.

Materials and quality

The mats are braided straw, and braiding matters: a braid is thicker and tighter than a single flat weave, so the mat sits flat, holds its shape and softens the sound of ceramics on a hard table. Natural straw gives a pale, matt surface with a little variation from mat to mat. They come in sets of four, eight or twelve, so the whole table matches instead of nearly matching.

Care and everyday use

Spot clean only. Wipe spills with a barely damp cloth and let the mat dry flat, away from direct heat. Do not put them in water, the dishwasher or the washing machine. Store flat in a stack. Brush crumbs off with a dry hand or a soft brush rather than shaking them, which loosens the braid over time.
