Bring the beauty of classic botanical illustration into your home with the Lady Clare Hooker Fruit Tray. Featuring beautifully detailed fruit artwork against a rich Bottle Green background, this elegant English serving tray combines traditional botanical style with the craftsmanship for which Lady Clare has been known since 1932.
The Hooker Fruit Collection draws inspiration from the great tradition of British botanical and natural history illustration, when botanists and artists documented fruits, flowers and plants in extraordinary detail. Originally created to record and study the natural world, these illustrations soon came to be admired as beautiful works of art in their own right.
Fruit has long been a favorite subject of botanical artists. Apples, pears, berries and other fruits offered an extraordinary variety of shapes, colors and textures, allowing illustrators to combine careful observation of nature with beautiful composition and color.
Botanical prints eventually became a familiar decorative element in English Country Houses, country cottages, libraries, garden rooms and conservatories. Their timeless appeal makes the Hooker Fruit Collection equally at home in traditional and contemporary interiors.
Lady Clare’s Hooker Fruit Collection celebrates this tradition with colorful botanical fruit artwork set against a handsome Bottle Green background. An elegant hand-gilded frame provides the refined finishing touch associated with traditional Lady Clare craftsmanship.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, coasters, trays and decorative home accessories. Made in Great Britain, the Hooker Fruit Tray combines classic botanical imagery with timeless British styling.
Available in two sizes, the tray is equally at home serving afternoon tea, coffee, cocktails and drinks or simply displayed as an attractive decorative accessory.
The generous Traditional Tray, measuring approximately 21.5 × 15.5 inches, provides ample space for entertaining and serving. The Small Tray, measuring approximately 15.5 × 12 inches, is ideal for drinks, tea, coffee or lighter serving.
Its colorful botanical imagery makes the Hooker Fruit Tray particularly attractive in an English Country House, country cottage, traditional kitchen, breakfast room, garden room or conservatory.
It also makes a thoughtful and unusual gift for a gardener, botanical art enthusiast, fruit lover, natural history collector or anyone who appreciates traditional English country style.
Pair it with coordinating Lady Clare Hooker Fruit Placemats, Tablemats and Coasters to create an elegant collection inspired by botanical art, gardens and the natural world.
