Your table deserves a little protection without sacrificing how it looks. Pimpernel placemats keep spills, heat, and scratches off your favourite surfaces while adding a polished, finished feel to every meal. They're the kind of everyday piece you'll reach for whether it's a Tuesday night dinner or a holiday table setting.

Features / Benefits

• Heat-resistant to 212°F (100°C) — Hot plates go straight from oven to table without worry, no trivets needed.

Why we love Pimpernel Placemats

The cork base serves double duty — it insulates against heat coming through from warm plates, and its natural grip prevents the mats from sliding around even on the shiniest surfaces, without leaving a mark. At 16" x 12", there's room for a full place setting, and the sealed surface means cleanup is nothing more than a quick wipe.

Pimpernel placemats make an especially thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to entertain — whether you're looking for a housewarming present, a hostess gift, or something to treat yourself with. They're the kind of thing that gets used every day, stays beautiful for years, and always draws a comment when guests sit down at the table. If you've been searching for the best cork-backed placemats for a Canadian dining table, these are a reliable, stylish answer.
