Celebrate the traditions of the British countryside with the Lady Clare Gilroy Country Sports Tablemats. This handsome boxed set of six features classic country sporting artwork, beautifully presented against a rich Bottle Green painted background and finished with elegant hand-gilded edges.
Country sports have played an important role in 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 tablemats, placemats, coasters and decorative home accessories. The Gilroy Country Sports Tablemats combine classic British sporting imagery with the traditional craftsmanship and timeless country style 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 handsome sporting artwork to become part of your room's décor.
Measuring approximately 9.37 × 7.91 inches, the Tablemats are compact enough for smaller tables while still providing a practical protective surface.
The hard-wearing, heat-resistant lacquered surface helps protect your 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 Tablemats particularly attractive in an English Country House, sporting lodge, shooting lodge, country cottage, equestrian home, library, study 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 Continental Placemats, Small Placemats and Coasters to create a handsome table setting inspired by the traditions of the British countryside.
