Bring the richness of Old Master painting to your dining table with the Lady Clare 17th Century Still Life Continental Placemats. Inspired by the sumptuous still-life paintings of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish artists, this elegant collection combines fine art, English tradition and classic tableware.
During the 17th century, Dutch and Flemish still-life painting flourished, with artists creating remarkably detailed compositions of flowers, fruit, vessels and other treasured objects. These paintings were admired not only for their beauty and realism, but also for their associations with prosperity, refinement and the fleeting nature of life.
Lady Clare’s 17th Century Still Life Collection captures the richness and drama of this artistic tradition. This boxed set of four Continental Placemats features four different still-life designs, each beautifully presented against a deep black painted background. Elegant hand-gilded edges provide a sophisticated finishing touch and beautifully complement the jewel-like colors of the artwork.
The dramatic black background and traditional imagery make these placemats especially suited to formal dining rooms, English country houses, traditional interiors and Old World-inspired décor. They pair beautifully with fine china, crystal, silverware and antique or traditional furnishings.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered tableware and home accessories. Made in Great Britain, these placemats combine decorative artistry with the durability required for both entertaining and everyday dining.
The hard-wearing surface is heat resistant to 150°C (300°F). Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the mats, while the soft green flock backing helps protect your dining table.
Generously sized at 15.5 × 11.5 inches, the Continental Placemats provide ample room for a complete place setting. Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare 17th Century Still Life Coasters, Tablemats and home accessories to create an elegant and beautifully coordinated collection.
