Lowicz Folk Art Placemat

If you are looking for a beautiful addition to your table, this Lowicz style Polish Folk Art placemat is the perfect fit!  Not only will it add color, but also a bit of history and culture to your decor. 

The Lowicz Folk Art theme is a modern re-imagining of traditional Polish paper cutting designs.  Colorful folk paper cuttings, fashionable in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, became famous in Poland as a part of folklore art.  Initially, they adorned peasant's chambers, only to become with time a folklore handicraft intended for sale. 

The most prominent features of paper cuttings from the Lowicz region are the contrast of colors and the intricacy of its workmanship.  The original patterns were cut out with sheep shears.
