Sabi Grass Table Mats (2)
These delicately woven sabai grass table mats have been crafted by artisans from West Bengal. Beautiful and eco-friendly, this set is also food-safe and very low maintenance. Sabai grass is a fine natural fiber that can be safely dyed. The craftsmen have a practice of dyeing the Sabai strands with natural, vegetable dyes or Azo-free colors to add a touch of drama to the offerings. 45cm x 30cm
The process of making a sabai grass product involves cutting the strands, bundling them, mixing colors in the right proportion, soaking the strands in the boiling water with the dye and then drying them in the sun. These steps can take several days before the actual weaving starts. Skilled artisans employ strands of varying lengths for weaving, interlocking each strand dexterously and hand-stitching parts that need further reinforcement.
Our products are meticulously handcrafted by artisans one piece at a time, therefore slight variations from one item to the next are to be expected. Such distinctions will make your purchase special and truly one of a kind.
