Mr Ra Hand-Embroidered Linen Placemat (Set Of 2)

The Mr Ra Hand Embroidered Linen Placemat takes its inspiration from Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god, reimagined by ANUT Cairo with a distinctly playful point of view. Crafted from natural linen, Mr Ra’s expressive face and radiating sun rays are embroidered entirely by hand in vivid blue. From the fine outlines of his features to the rhythmic stitches of the surrounding rays, the embroidery showcases the skill and character of work done entirely by hand. Subtle variations in every stitch mean that each Mr Ra has a personality of his own. Playful yet elegant, Mr Ra is designed to bring character and a touch of humour to the table. Pair with crisp white or blue tableware for a fresh setting, or mix with colourful ceramics, handblown glass and natural rattan for something more layered and eclectic. Inspired by one of ancient Egypt’s most enduring symbols and made for contemporary entertaining, Mr Ra is a conversation piece that celebrates the skill of Egyptian hand embroidery while keeping the mood at the table decidedly light.
