Celebrate the artistry and tradition of English fly fishing with the Lady Clare Feathers Tablemats. This handsome boxed set of six 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 in its own right. Beautifully colored feathers were carefully combined to create 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 tablemats, placemats, coasters and decorative home accessories. These Feathers Tablemats combine traditional British sporting imagery with the craftsmanship and elegant styling for which Lady Clare is renowned.
Their versatile size makes these Tablemats ideal for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, desserts and smaller place settings. They can also be used beneath serving dishes, bowls, bottles or decorative objects, allowing the distinctive feather artwork to become part of the room's décor.
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.
Measuring approximately 9.37 × 7.91 inches, the Tablemats are compact enough for smaller tables while still providing a practical protective surface.
The sporting character of the design makes them particularly attractive in a country house, fishing lodge, lakeside cabin, library, study or sporting retreat.
Presented in a gift box, the Lady Clare Feathers Tablemats 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, Small Placemats and Coasters to create a handsome collection inspired by the heritage and artistry of English fly fishing.
