FAQs
What material is the plate made from?
The plate is crafted from pure iron with a hand-hammered finish.
Is this plate suitable for serving food directly?
It is not recommended for direct food contact due to its industrial finish. It is best used for display or with a barrier for food items.
How should I clean the plate?
Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh cleaners.
Will every plate look exactly the same?
No, each plate is hand-hammered, ensuring a unique, rustic, and asymmetric aesthetic for every piece.
Where is this product made?
The Mad et Len Large Plate is handmade in the South of France.
Can I use it outdoors?
It is best used indoors to protect the iron from weather elements and moisture, which can cause rust or damage the finish.
What is the 'raw oil matte finish'?
It refers to a smooth, non-glossy surface treatment applied to the iron using raw oils, enhancing its natural texture and creating a sophisticated matte appearance.
Troubleshooting
Plate appears uneven or asymmetrical.
This is an intended characteristic of the hand-hammered finish, not a defect. Embrace the unique, rustic aesthetic.
Matte finish seems dull or shows marks.
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. A very small amount of natural oil (like mineral oil) can sometimes be used sparingly to restore sheen, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Suspected rust spots appear.
Ensure the plate is kept dry. Minor rust can sometimes be gently buffed with fine steel wool (grade #0000), followed by a light conditioning with oil. Use with caution to avoid damaging the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
No assembly is required for the Mad et Len Large Plate. It is ready to be placed and used as intended upon arrival.
Compatibility:
This plate is primarily designed for decorative use or for displaying items like candles, dried botanicals, or non-direct food items (e.g., fruit that is peeled before consumption). It is compatible with most home decor styles, from minimalist to rustic.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the matte finish.
- Moisture: Keep away from prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent potential oxidation or rust.
- Direct Food Use: Not recommended for direct serving of food. If using for fruit, consider placing items on a liner or ensuring fruit is peeled before consumption.
- Finishing: The raw oil matte finish may develop a patina over time, which is considered part of its artisanal character.
