Celebrate the traditions of the British countryside with the Lady Clare Gilroy Country Sports Continental Placemats. This handsome boxed set of four features classic country sporting artwork, beautifully presented against a rich Bottle Green painted background and finished with elegant hand-gilded edges.
Country sports have been an important part of British rural life for centuries. Hunting, shooting, fishing and equestrian pursuits became closely associated with the great country estates of England, Scotland and Wales and inspired generations of British sporting artists.
Paintings and prints depicting horses, sporting dogs, game birds, anglers and scenes from the countryside became a familiar feature of the English Country House, particularly in libraries, studies, dining rooms and sporting lodges. The Gilroy Country Sports Collection captures the character and atmosphere of this enduring British tradition.
The detailed sporting artwork is complemented by a handsome Bottle Green painted background, while the hand-gilded edges provide the distinctive finishing touch associated with Lady Clare’s Traditional Collection.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, tablemats, coasters and decorative home accessories. These Gilroy Country Sports Continental Placemats combine classic British sporting imagery with the traditional craftsmanship and timeless country style for which Lady Clare is renowned.
Their generous Continental size makes them particularly well suited to both formal dining and relaxed entertaining. Measuring approximately 15.5 × 11.5 inches, each placemat provides ample room for a dinner plate, flatware and glassware while allowing the handsome sporting artwork to remain visible.
The hard-wearing, heat-resistant lacquered surface helps protect your dining table during everyday use, while the soft green flock backing helps protect the furniture beneath. Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges are designed to help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the mats.
Their traditional sporting character makes the Gilroy Country Sports Continental Placemats particularly attractive in an English Country House, sporting lodge, country cottage, shooting lodge, equestrian home or traditional dining room.
Presented in a gift box, they make a distinctive gift for a country sports enthusiast, sportsman, shooting or fishing enthusiast, equestrian lover, or anyone who appreciates British sporting art and traditional English country style.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Gilroy Country Sports Coasters, Small Placemats and Tablemats to create a handsome table setting inspired by the traditions of the British countryside.
