Celebrate the heritage of British game fishing with the Lady Clare Game Fish Continental Placemats. This handsome boxed set of four features four different Game Fish designs, beautifully presented against a rich Bottle Green painted background and finished with traditional hand-gilded edges.
Game fishing has been an important part of British country life for centuries. The pursuit of salmon, trout and other game fish became closely associated with Britain’s rivers, streams and country estates, developing into one of the most enduring traditions of the sporting world.
Fishing also became a favorite subject of British sporting artists and natural history illustrators, who captured the beauty and character of game fish in detailed paintings, prints and engravings. These images became a familiar feature of fishing lodges, English country houses, libraries and sporting retreats.
Lady Clare’s Game Fish Collection celebrates this rich angling tradition with four different designs inspired by the beauty of game fish. The detailed artwork stands out beautifully against the deep Bottle Green 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. Made in Great Britain, these Game Fish Continental Placemats combine classic British sporting imagery with the craftsmanship and traditional 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 Game Fish artwork to remain visible.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface is heat resistant to 150°C (300°F), helping protect your dining table from hot plates and serving dishes. A soft green felt backing helps protect the furniture beneath, while Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the mats.
Their traditional sporting character makes the Lady Clare Game Fish Continental Placemats especially attractive in an English Country House, fishing lodge, lakeside cabin, sporting retreat or traditional dining room.
Presented in a gift box, they make a distinctive gift for a fisherman, fly-fishing enthusiast, salmon or trout angler, sportsman or anyone who appreciates British sporting art and country-house style.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Game Fish Coasters, Small Placemats and Tablemats to create a handsome collection inspired by the heritage of British angling.
