Celebrate the artistry and tradition of English fly fishing with the Lady Clare Feathers Small 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, salmon fishermen and skilled fly tiers have carefully selected colorful feathers and other materials to create elaborate flies designed to attract Atlantic salmon.
Traditional salmon flies became especially elaborate during the Victorian era, when fly tying developed into an art form of its own. Beautifully colored feathers were carefully combined to produce intricate patterns, many of which are now admired and collected as miniature works of sporting art.
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 Small Placemats combine traditional 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 and smaller place settings 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 felt 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.
The sporting character of the Feathers 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 Small 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 Continental Placemats, Tablemats and Coasters to create a distinctive collection inspired by the heritage and artistry of English fly fishing.
