Fine Italian Linen Placemats made in Lake Como.  In this modern Toile pattern you'll find typical scenes or vignettes found around the lake; Fireworks, Riva boats, swans and sea planes.  The Lake Como Toile pattern is printed on an off white ground with a range of colors but the beautiful greens and blues pop more, just like the lake itself.  These generously sized, artisanal placemats are framed in with a hemstitch border. 

Placemats are known as "Sotto Piatti" (under the plates) or simply "Americani" in Italy.  Italian hosts & hostesses tend to use tablecloths, thus the name "Americani".  These are wonderful when a full tablecloth doesn't fit your entertaining mood.  The pattern is applied to high quality Italian linen locally using a special printing process.  Likewise, the sewing is done by a master "sarta" (tailor) right here in the Lake Como area.  

Minimum order of Two, please.
