Celebrate the traditions of the British countryside with the Lady Clare Hunting Small Placemats, featuring classic sporting artwork by Pat Owen.
Inspired by Britain's longstanding equestrian and country-sport traditions, these handsome placemats capture the atmosphere of the English countryside, traditional hunt clubs and country estates. The detailed scenes of country life give the collection a distinctive character that is equally suited to everyday dining and entertaining.
The artwork is presented against Lady Clare’s rich Bottle Green painted background, a traditional color that beautifully complements the sporting imagery. Elegant hand-gilded edges provide the refined finishing touch associated with Lady Clare’s Traditional Collection.
Sporting art has long held an important place in British decorative tradition. Paintings and prints depicting horses, hounds, hunts and other country pursuits became particularly associated with English Country Houses, sporting lodges and rural estates, reflecting Britain's rich equestrian heritage.
The Lady Clare Hunting Collection brings this tradition to the dining table in a form that is both decorative and practical. These 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 Placemats continue that tradition of combining distinctive artwork with quality British craftsmanship.
Their versatile size makes these placemats ideal for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and smaller place settings. Measuring approximately 11.73 × 8.74 inches, they provide excellent table protection without requiring the space of Lady Clare's larger Continental Placemats.
The hard-wearing, heat-resistant lacquered surface helps protect your table during everyday use, 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 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 Continental Placemats, Tablemats and Coasters to create a handsome table setting inspired by the sporting traditions of the British countryside.
