Rush Matters’ oval rush placemats are hand-woven using an age-old crafting tradition by the founding family in Bedfordshire, UK. English bulrush is harvested with scythe-shaped blades and later sun and wind-dried, resulting in 100% natural and rustic table mats with distinct colour variations that vary depending on the weather conditions during the drying process. Prolonged sun gently bleaches bulrush to warm honey tones while windy weather alters the colour to have a more vivid green and blue hue. These placemats honour traditional craftsmanship and are eco-friendly, while adding a touch of charm and authenticity to any setting. Due to the organic nature of the product the colour will mellow to golden-yellow tones over time.
