23" x 18 1/4" overall

There is some darkening to the boards around the edges and smudge marks here and there

I especially love the “o”s inside of “o”s

Antique Round Braided Silk Tabletop Mat - Two of Two weathervane sulky driver 23" x 18 1/4" overallI've become such a fan of these old braided mats, and look at a lot of them before landing on ones I really like. This and one other I am listing I found together and assume were made by the same person, who I think had a very good eye for color and pattern. Good on the table under the coffee pot or tea pot or dishes or candlesticks or whatever. 13 1 2" in diameter and in good antique condition on both side, definitely used and a bit faded, but lovely.
