Capiz Shell & Brass Placemats by Tesoro’s Philippines – Set of 8
Beautiful set of eight handcrafted placemats featuring luminous capiz shell discs framed in brass and mounted on corkboard. The overlapping circular pattern creates a shimmering iridescence, shifting between pearl, silver, and cream as the light changes. Each piece reflects the refined artistry of Philippine shell-craft, where natural materials are shaped into elegant decorative forms.
Purchased from Tesoro’s, the esteemed Manila retailer founded in 1945 and celebrated for preserving Filipino craftsmanship, this set embodies both tradition and timeless design. Perfect for refined table settings or as wall-mounted decorative panels, these versatile pieces bring coastal sophistication to any interior.

Each: 18" x 11 3/4" x 1/8"
Set includes 8 pieces.
