Bring the beauty of classic British natural history illustration to your home with the Lady Clare Gould Ducks Coasters. This elegant boxed set of six features six different duck designs, beautifully presented against a rich Bottle Green painted background and finished with traditional hand-gilded edges.
The Gould Ducks Collection evokes the celebrated tradition of 19th-century British ornithological illustration, when beautifully detailed studies of birds introduced generations of readers to the remarkable variety of the natural world. The name Gould is particularly associated with the work of renowned English ornithologist and publisher John Gould, whose magnificent illustrated bird books became some of the most admired works of natural history of the Victorian era.
Ducks and other waterfowl were especially appealing subjects for natural history artists, with their distinctive plumage, graceful forms and tremendous variety. Their images also became a natural fit for traditional English Country House décor, appearing in sporting prints, natural history books and decorative objects.
Lady Clare’s Gould Ducks Collection celebrates this tradition with six different designs, creating a wonderful variety of waterfowl imagery within each boxed set.
The detailed artwork is complemented by a handsome Bottle Green painted 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 Gould Ducks Coasters combine classic bird imagery with the traditional craftsmanship and timeless British styling for which Lady Clare is renowned.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface is heat resistant to 150°C (300°F), making the coasters both decorative and practical. Lady Clare’s distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the coasters, while the soft green felt backing helps protect the furniture beneath.
Measuring approximately 4.25 × 3.5 inches, they are ideal for whisky glasses, cocktails, wine, coffee, tea and everyday drinks.
Their distinctive natural history character makes the Lady Clare Gould Ducks Coasters especially attractive in an English Country House, country cottage, library, study, sporting lodge or traditional home.
Presented in a gift box, they also make a distinctive gift for a bird lover, duck enthusiast, waterfowl enthusiast, natural history collector, sportsman or anyone who appreciates traditional British country style.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Gould Ducks Placemats, Tablemats and home accessories to create an elegant collection inspired by British ornithology and country life.
