This beautifully made macrame placemat set touts a spirited style, perfect for bohemian-inspired dining spaces. They are set apart by dramatic handmade knots, a diamonded design and fringes on either sides, achieved by talented artisans without the use of any machines or tools. The knots of varying sizes and styles lend it a unique flavor. While the knotting technique dates back to the 13th century, in modern history, macrame is an art form believed to have been brought to the West from Arabic countries. As these textiles were distributed across Europe, more people began experimenting with knotting as a hobby. Today, macrame is practiced around the world, making a major comeback!
