Bring the timeless elegance of Chinoiserie into your home with the Lady Clare Chinese Engravings Coasters. This beautiful boxed set of six features six different Chinese-inspired designs, presented against a rich Regal Red painted background and finished with elegant hand-gilded edges.
Chinoiserie became especially fashionable in Britain and Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries as growing trade with China introduced Europeans to Chinese porcelain, silk, lacquerware and decorative arts. British and European designers began interpreting Asian landscapes, architecture, figures and natural motifs in their own imaginative style, creating the decorative tradition that became known as Chinoiserie.
The style became particularly popular in elegant English interiors, appearing on furniture, wallpaper, ceramics and decorative objects. Centuries later, Chinoiserie remains a favorite in both traditional and contemporary decorating, admired for its distinctive combination of history, color and exotic imagery.
Lady Clare’s Chinese Engravings Collection celebrates this decorative tradition with six different designs. The rich Regal Red background provides a dramatic setting for the detailed imagery, while traditional hand-gilded edges give each coaster an elegant finishing touch.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, coasters and home accessories. Made in Great Britain, these Chinese Engravings Coasters combine traditional British craftsmanship with a decorative style that has been part of English interiors for generations.
The hard-wearing surface is heat resistant to 150°C (300°F), making the coasters suitable for both hot and cold beverages. Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the coasters, while the soft green felt backing helps protect tables and other furniture surfaces.
Measuring approximately 4.25 × 3.5 inches, these lacquered coasters are ideal for coffee and tea cups, wine glasses, cocktails and everyday drinks.
Presented in a gift box, the Lady Clare Chinese Engravings Coasters make a distinctive gift for Anglophiles, Chinoiserie enthusiasts, collectors and anyone who appreciates traditional English interiors and decorative arts.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Chinese Engravings Placemats and Tablemats to create an elegant collection inspired by the enduring British fascination with Chinoiserie.
