Vintage Christmas Placemats Set of 8 | Mid Century Signed G. Galian | Paper Wipe-Clean Holiday Table Mats | Original Box | Retro Green Holly Poinsettia

$24.00

Add the perfect mid-century touch to your holiday table with this complete set of 8 vintage Christmas placemats, signed by artist G. Galian, in their original box. 

Made of a heavyweight, plastic coated paper designed to be used, wiped clean, and reused season after season. The finish is glossy with a swirl pattern. The beautiful mid-century greens would look stunning with jadeite dishes. Pretty enough to be framed or used under other holiday decorations to protect surfaces from scratches.

This complete set includes 4 distinct designs, 2 of each:

  • Holly with hellebore blossoms and berries
  • Pinecones and holly with a red bow (also featured on the box lid)
  • Cluster of holly leaves with shiny bright ornaments, apples, grapes, and a pear
  • Red and white poinsettias with evergreens, holly, and berries 

SIZE Approximately 15" x 10" each . Box is 15 3/8" x 10 1/2" x 3/4"

CONDITION Placemats are in very good vintage condition. Colors are vibrant. Backs show signs of gentle use, but no tears. One pinecone design placemat has a couple of dark spots visible on the back when held to light, plus a couple of faint coffee rings on the front;  has a couple of dark spots on the back that show through if held up to light, and if you look hard a couple of coffee rings on the front.  One poinsettia has a pink mark. We marked some of the spots with yellow post its. Box has one split corner on cover.
SIDE NOTE about G. Galian. Scuttlebutt on the internet is that it's a pseudonym. There are tons of works out there with the name, but no biographical info can be found. So not only are these placemats pretty, they are also mysterious.

This is a vintage item. It has been used and loved and it has a history. Every attempt is made to describe it accurately. Please examine photos and ask questions. We want you to love your placemats.
