Celebrate the beauty of British birdlife and the tradition of classic natural history illustration with the Lady Clare Gould Game Birds Coasters. This elegant boxed set of six features six different game bird designs, beautifully presented against a rich Regal Red painted background and finished with traditional hand-gilded edges.
The Gould Game Birds Collection evokes the celebrated tradition of 19th-century British ornithological illustration. The name Gould is particularly associated with renowned English ornithologist and publisher John Gould, whose magnificent illustrated works documenting birds from Britain and around the world became some of the most admired natural history publications of the Victorian era.
Working with accomplished artists and lithographers, Gould produced extraordinarily detailed studies that combined scientific observation with artistry. Pheasants, partridge, grouse and other game birds were particularly striking subjects, admired for their distinctive forms, colorful plumage and close association with the British countryside.
Game bird illustrations also became a natural part of traditional English Country House décor, appearing in libraries, studies, sporting rooms and collections of ornithological and sporting prints.
Lady Clare’s Gould Game Birds Collection celebrates this tradition with six different designs. The detailed bird artwork is complemented by a handsome Regal Red 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 Game Birds 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 these 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 classic natural-history and sporting character makes the Lady Clare Gould Game Birds Coasters especially attractive in an English Country House, sporting lodge, country cottage, library, study, home bar or traditional interior.
Presented in a gift box, they make a distinctive gift for a bird lover, game bird enthusiast, sportsman, shooting enthusiast, natural history collector or anyone who appreciates British sporting art and traditional English country style.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Gould Game Birds Placemats, Tablemats and home accessories to create an elegant collection inspired by British ornithology and country life.
