Celebrate the heritage and artistry of British fly fishing with the Lady Clare Classic Salmon Flies Small 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 elaborate flies using carefully selected feathers, silks and other materials, developing colorful and intricate patterns designed to attract Atlantic salmon.
Over time, these beautifully constructed flies became admired for more than their practical purpose. Traditional salmon flies are now appreciated as miniature works of sporting art and are collected by anglers, fly tiers and fishing enthusiasts around the world.
Lady Clare’s Classic Salmon Flies Collection celebrates this distinctive British sporting tradition. The detailed fly artwork gives these placemats the character of traditional sporting prints and makes them especially attractive in a country house, fishing lodge, lakeside cabin, study or sporting retreat.
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 Small Placemats combine classic British sporting imagery with the craftsmanship and elegant styling for which Lady Clare is renowned.
Their convenient smaller size makes these placemats particularly versatile. Measuring approximately 11.73 × 8.74 inches, they are ideal for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, desserts or smaller dining tables where a full-size Continental Placemat is not required.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface helps protect your table during everyday use, while the soft green flock backing helps protect the furniture beneath. Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges are designed to help reduce damage and prolong the life of the mats.
Presented in a gift box, the Lady Clare Classic Salmon Flies Small Placemats make an exceptional gift for a fly fisherman, salmon angler, fly-tier, sporting enthusiast or collector of traditional British sporting art.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Classic Salmon Flies Continental Placemats, Tablemats and Coasters to create a distinctive table setting inspired by the heritage of British salmon fishing.
