Celebrate the traditions of the British countryside with the Lady Clare Hunting Continental Placemats, featuring sporting artwork by Pat Owen.
Inspired by the long association between equestrian pursuits and rural British life, these handsome placemats capture the atmosphere of the English countryside, traditional hunt clubs and country estates. The detailed sporting scenes give the collection a distinctive character that is equally suited to formal dining and relaxed country entertaining.
The artwork is presented against Lady Clare’s rich Bottle Green painted background, a classic color particularly well suited to traditional sporting subjects. Elegant hand-gilded edges provide the refined finishing touch associated with Lady Clare’s Traditional Collection.
Sporting art has occupied an important place in British decorative tradition for generations. Paintings and prints depicting horses, hounds, hunts and country pursuits became particularly associated with English Country Houses, sporting lodges and rural estates, reflecting Britain's longstanding equestrian heritage.
The Lady Clare Hunting Collection brings that tradition to the dining table in a form that is both decorative and practical. These Continental Placemats are particularly at home in an English Country House, hunt club, country cottage, traditional dining room, sporting lodge or equestrian-inspired interior.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, coasters, trays and home accessories. Made in Great Britain, the Hunting Continental Placemats continue that tradition of combining distinctive artwork with quality British craftsmanship.
The generous Continental size provides ample room for a dinner plate, flatware and glassware while allowing the beautiful sporting artwork to remain visible. Measuring approximately 15.5 × 11.5 inches, these are an excellent choice for both everyday dining and entertaining.
A hard-wearing, heat-resistant lacquered surface helps protect your dining table, while the soft green felt/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.
Presented as a gift-boxed set of four, the Lady Clare Hunting Continental Placemats make a distinctive gift for anyone interested in horses, equestrian life, hunting, British country sports or traditional English country décor.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Hunting Small Placemats, Tablemats and Coasters to create a handsome table setting inspired by the sporting traditions of the British countryside.
