Bring the richness and beauty of Old Master painting to your table with the Lady Clare 17th Century Still Life Small Placemats. Inspired by the magnificent still-life paintings of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish artists, this elegant collection combines European art history with traditional English craftsmanship.
The great still-life painters of the 17th century were celebrated for their remarkably detailed compositions of flowers, fruit, vessels and treasured objects. Their dramatic use of light, rich colors and intricate detail created paintings that remain admired centuries later.
Lady Clare’s 17th Century Still Life Collection captures the elegance and drama of this artistic tradition. The beautifully detailed still-life scenes are presented against a deep black painted background, allowing the jewel-like colors of the artwork to stand out. Elegant hand-gilded edges add a refined finishing touch.
The smaller size makes these placemats especially versatile for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or more intimate place settings. Their rich artwork and traditional styling also make them particularly suited to formal dining rooms, libraries, English country interiors and homes decorated with antiques and classic furnishings.
Lady Clare has been creating distinctive English placemats and home accessories since 1932. Each Traditional Collection mat features artwork mounted onto a painted base, finished with hand-gilded edges and sealed with protective, heat-resistant lacquer. The mats are flock backed and gift boxed. Made in England.
Pair the Small Placemats with coordinating Lady Clare 17th Century Still Life Continental Placemats, Tablemats and Coasters to create an elegant collection inspired by the great still-life paintings of Europe.
