About the Anchor Placemat & Coaster Set
The set is one placemat, about 24 x 19cm, and one coaster, about 10 x 10cm, with rounded corners. It's a single place setting, so you can buy as many as you need, from one for a desk or bedside to a nautical placemat and coaster set for every seat at the table.
Melamine placemats are popular because they're tough and practical: the hard top wipes clean with a damp cloth after a meal. The cork backing stops them sliding and helps protect a wooden table from warm plates and mugs.
The anchor design has a printed, slightly worn look, like an old engraving, which suits coastal placemats in a kitchen, a holiday cottage, a boat or a beach house. It sits well with blue and white crockery, other seaside placemats and anchor coasters, and coastal table mats in plain navy or white.
At 24 x 19cm, these are small placemats, a little smaller than a standard 30cm mat, so they suit compact tables, breakfast trays, side tables and desks. The 10cm coaster takes a mug, a wine glass or a tumbler.
Designed and printed in the UK, the anchor placemat and coaster set also makes a thoughtful gift for a sailor, a new home on the coast or anyone whose taste runs nautical. Nautical placemats and coasters bought together give a tidy, matching table, or mix anchors with our Ships Wheel placemat and coaster set, which is the same size and build, for a table that matches without every seat being identical.

FAQs
Questions about the Anchor Placemat & Coaster Set
What is in the anchor placemat set?
One placemat and one matching coaster, both printed with the same blue anchor design. It's a single place setting, so buy one set per seat to make up a full table of anchor placemats.
What are the placemat and coaster made from?
Both have a hard-wearing melamine top on a cork base. The melamine is glossy and easy to wipe clean, and the cork stops them sliding and helps protect the table surface underneath.
What size are the placemat and coaster?
The placemat is about 24 x 19cm, which suits a side plate, a breakfast setting or a compact table where small table mats fit better, and the coaster is about 10 x 10cm, which suits a mug or glass. Both have rounded corners.
How do I clean them?
Wipe them with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid, then dry them. They're wipe clean, so don't soak them, scrub them with abrasive cleaners or put them in the dishwasher. A quick wipe after each meal keeps the print looking crisp.
Can I build a matching set for my table?
Yes. Buy one set per place and you'll have matching nautical placemats and coasters for the whole table. The blue anchor design also sits well alongside our other coastal placemats and seaside tableware.
How much heat can they take?
The maker doesn't give a heat rating for this set, so we don't quote one. Treat it as a mat for warm plates and mugs, and use a trivet for pans and dishes straight from the oven or hob. The cork base helps protect the table underneath.
