Tecla Placemat, Beige with Ivory Embroidery

Tecla is where the cutwork does all the talking. A wide openwork border is cut and finished by hand in a tailoring atelier in Bologna, Italy, ivory against beige linen, so you notice texture and shadow before colour. Everything else is kept plain, which is exactly why it holds a table. Untreated linen gives it a soft hand and a matte finish, and the Tecla napkin completes the setting.
