We call them candle mats but they can be used for anything. Place on an end table with a small wooden bowl filled with beeswax candle nubs, or on your island with a bowl or basket filled with our meadow grass and beeswax eggs. Also would look very nice with under a crock filled wth dried florals. This mat is handmade from our aged osnaberg fabric and stenciled in soft black. The mat measures 10"in diameter.
