Celebrate the heritage and artistry of British fly fishing with the Lady Clare Classic Salmon Flies Continental Placemats. This handsome boxed set of four features the intricate beauty of the classic salmon fly, creating a distinctive table setting for anglers and lovers of traditional British sporting life.
The classic salmon fly has a fascinating history rooted in Victorian Britain, when salmon fishing developed into both a sophisticated sport and an art form. Skilled fly tiers created increasingly elaborate flies using carefully selected feathers, silks and other materials, developing distinctive patterns designed to attract Atlantic salmon.
These beautifully constructed flies eventually became admired for more than their practical purpose. Today, traditional salmon flies are appreciated as miniature works of art and are collected by anglers and sporting enthusiasts throughout the world.
Lady Clare’s Classic Salmon Flies Collection celebrates this rich British sporting tradition. The detailed fly artwork and elegant hand-finished presentation make these placemats particularly attractive in a country house, fishing lodge, lakeside cabin, sporting retreat or traditional dining room.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, coasters and decorative home accessories. Part of Lady Clare’s Traditional Collection, these Continental Placemats combine classic British sporting imagery with the traditional craftsmanship for which Lady Clare is renowned.
Their generous Continental size provides ample room for a dinner plate, flatware and glassware, making them ideal for both formal dining and relaxed entertaining.
A hard-wearing lacquered surface helps protect your dining table, while the soft green flock backing protects the furniture beneath. Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during everyday use and prolong the life of the mats.
Measuring approximately 15.5 × 11.5 inches, these generously sized placemats are equally at home on a formal dining table or in the relaxed surroundings of a fishing lodge or country retreat.
Presented in a gift box, the Lady Clare Classic Salmon Flies Continental Placemats make an exceptional gift for a fly fisherman, salmon angler, sporting enthusiast or collector of traditional British sporting art.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Classic Salmon Flies Coasters, Small Placemats and Tablemats to create a distinctive table setting inspired by the heritage of British salmon fishing.
