Celebrate the artistry and tradition of English fly fishing with the Lady Clare Feathers Continental Placemats. This handsome boxed set of four features a striking arrangement of colorful feathers against a dramatic Black painted background, beautifully finished with traditional hand-gilded edges.
The feathers featured in this distinctive design have a fascinating connection to the history of classic salmon fly tying. For generations, English salmon fishermen and skilled fly tiers have carefully selected colorful feathers to create elaborate flies designed to attract Atlantic salmon.
Traditional English salmon flies have incorporated distinctive feathers such as golden pheasant crests, bustard, and dyed swan or goose feathers. Individual fishermen and fly tiers often developed their own techniques and interpretations, transforming the creation of a salmon fly into an art form in its own right.
Lady Clare’s Feathers Collection celebrates this colorful British sporting tradition. The richly detailed feather artwork stands out beautifully against the deep Black background, while elegant hand-gilded edges provide the refined finishing touch associated with Lady Clare’s Traditional Collection.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, coasters and decorative home accessories. These Feathers Continental Placemats combine traditional British sporting imagery with the craftsmanship and elegant styling for which Lady Clare is renowned.
Their generous Continental size makes these placemats ideal for both formal dining and relaxed entertaining. Measuring approximately 15.5 × 11.5 inches, they provide ample room for a dinner plate, flatware and glassware while allowing the distinctive feather artwork to remain visible.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface helps protect your dining table, while the soft green felt backing protects the furniture beneath. Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the mats.
The sporting character of the design makes these placemats particularly attractive in a country house, fishing lodge, lakeside cabin, sporting retreat or traditional dining room.
Presented in a gift box, the Lady Clare Feathers Continental Placemats make an unusual and thoughtful gift for a fly fisherman, salmon angler, fly-tier, sporting enthusiast or collector of traditional British sporting art.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Feathers Coasters, Small Placemats and Tablemats to create a distinctive collection inspired by the heritage and artistry of English fly fishing.
