Description
A Silkwood Traders red and black splash wooden lacquer coaster set starts life as a tree from managed plantations which after being harvested is turned into a wood composite fibreboard. Each coaster and its box is hand-painted and layer upon layer of lacquer applied over a period of several months. In between each layer of lacquer, the item is left to dry, sanded back and then another layer applied giving a beautiful shine and depth of colour. It also results in a strong and robust finish which can withstand most bumps and drops. But always better to be safe than sorry so we always advise to handle with care. After all, they took three months to make!
Each red and black wooden lacquer coaster set comes with a matching lidded lacquer box in the same design. Please note that this item is packed in a plain white cardboard box. We very much regret that the free handmade silk boxes are no longer available for this item.
The coasters are suitable for hot or cold drinks. Just wipe clean and dry with a lint free cloth as required. Each coaster is foam backed to protect surfaces. Dimensions of each coaster are: 10cm x10cm x 0.3cm.

While I think these coasters are expensive they are well worth the money as they are beautiful. I bought these as a gift and they come in their own box which is perfect for a coffee table and the silk box they are presented in is stunning. I loved that they are made by hand in a poor country and Silkwood Traders are Fair Trade purchasers.
