Placemat Monkeys white

You are guaranteed to be delighted by this luxurious cotton placemat. The playful monkeys are thoroughly enjoying themselves on the placemat, climbing and clambering among the Delft blue branches. The placemat is part of the Sharing Moments collection by Janny van der Heijden, which consists of several collections including Tulip, Monkeys, and Dachshund Nhaan. The satirical monkeys on the placemat seem very modern, but they are a popular theme that was often seen on Delft blue porcelain four hundred years ago. This was called "Aperij." "Aperij is the act of pulling ridiculous pranks and mimicking human behavior," Janny explains about the design of her Monkeys collection. "The playful monkeys on the kitchen textiles bring a smile to everyone's face. This genre of monkeys in satirical situations was already a popular theme four hundred years ago, and we are happy to bring these lighthearted pranksters back to the kitchen."
