Bring the charm of 18th-century decorative art to your table with the Lady Clare Samuel Dixon Birds Coasters, featuring colorful birds and flowers inspired by the work of celebrated Irish artist Samuel Dixon.
Samuel Dixon, who died in 1769, was an Irish artist and picture dealer particularly admired for his distinctive depictions of birds and flowers. Working in Dublin during the 18th century, Dixon became known for an unusual decorative technique called basso-relievo.
His designs were embossed onto paper so that the birds, flowers and foliage stood slightly in relief and were then carefully colored by hand. The result combined elements of painting, printmaking and decorative art to create remarkably distinctive pictures.
Dixon's bird and flower compositions became fashionable decorative works for elegant homes, and surviving examples of his work are now treasured as important examples of 18th-century Irish decorative art.
Lady Clare’s Samuel Dixon Birds Traditional Collection brings the charm of these historic bird and floral designs to the table, creating a collection particularly suited to traditional English, Irish Country House and classic country interiors.
This boxed set contains six Traditional Coasters featuring six different Samuel Dixon Birds designs. Each colorful bird and floral composition is beautifully presented against Lady Clare’s classic Oxford Blue painted background.
Elegant hand-gilded edges provide the finishing touch, giving each coaster the appearance of a miniature framed work of art.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, coasters, trays and decorative home accessories. The Samuel Dixon Birds Coasters combine historic decorative artwork with traditional British craftsmanship.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface is heat resistant to 150°C / 300°F, while the soft green felt/flock backing helps protect furniture. Lady Clare's distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during everyday use and prolong the life of the coasters.
Presented in a gift box, these coasters make an especially distinctive gift for a bird lover, gardener, art lover, collector of botanical art or admirer of traditional English and Irish country style.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Samuel Dixon Birds Placemats, Tablemats, Trays and home accessories to create a complete collection celebrating the beauty of birds, flowers and 18th-century decorative art.
