The raw beauty of nature can be seen in this simple mat made from polished slate. It protects delicate tables or sideboards from scratches, heat (e.g. from lanterns or saucepans) and from damp rings which can be left by bottles and glasses. However, the slate plate is also great for decoration purposes: why not arrange a few solid pillar candles on the mat? With soft feet on the reverse. Available in other sizes and versions.
