Bring the timeless elegance of Chinoiserie to your home with the Lady Clare Chinese Engravings Tablemats. 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 increasing trade with China introduced Europeans to Chinese porcelain, silk, lacquerware and decorative arts. British and European designers embraced these influences, creating imaginative interpretations of Asian landscapes, architecture, figures and natural motifs.
Known as Chinoiserie, this decorative style became an important feature of elegant English interiors, appearing on furniture, wallpaper, ceramics and decorative objects. Its intricate imagery and exotic inspiration continue to make Chinoiserie a favorite in both traditional and contemporary decorating today.
Lady Clare’s Chinese Engravings Collection celebrates this enduring decorative tradition. Each of the six Tablemats features a different design, beautifully complemented by the dramatic Regal Red background. Traditional hand-gilded edges add a sophisticated finishing touch.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, tablemats, coasters and home accessories. Part of Lady Clare’s Traditional Collection, these tablemats combine decorative artistry with traditional British craftsmanship and a durable lacquered finish.
Their versatile size makes these tablemats ideal for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, desserts and smaller place settings. They are also excellent beneath serving dishes, bowls or decorative pieces, allowing the beautiful Chinoiserie artwork to become part of your table or room décor.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface helps protect your furniture, while Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges are designed to reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the mats. A soft green felt backing helps protect the surface beneath.
Presented in a gift box, the Lady Clare Chinese Engravings Tablemats make an elegant gift for Chinoiserie enthusiasts, Anglophiles, collectors and anyone who appreciates traditional English interiors and decorative arts.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Chinese Engravings Continental Placemats, Small Placemats and Coasters to create a beautifully coordinated collection inspired by Britain’s enduring fascination with Chinoiserie.
