Bring the elegance and romance of historic China to your desk or home with the Ming Polo Letter Rack by Lady Clare. This distinctive English-made accessory features a beautifully detailed equestrian scene inspired by the centuries-old tradition of polo in China, complemented by a rich bottle-green painted background and elegant gold trim.
Both decorative and practical, the Ming Polo Letter Rack provides a handsome way to organize correspondence, stationery, invitations and important papers. It is equally at home in a traditional study, library, home office or English country-inspired interior.
Although known as Ming Polo, the tradition depicted in this striking design reaches much further back in Chinese history. Polo is believed to have originated in Central Asia and became particularly fashionable in China during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). The fast-paced equestrian sport was especially popular among members of the imperial court and aristocracy, and historical evidence shows that both men and women played polo.
Lady Clare's Ming Polo Collection draws upon this rich equestrian tradition, combining the drama and movement of the polo field with the decorative elegance associated with historic Chinese art.
Made in Great Britain, the Lady Clare Ming Polo Letter Rack combines traditional craftsmanship with a timeless equestrian design. The bottle-green painted background and gold detailing give the piece the appearance of a classic English desk accessory, while a protective lacquered finish adds durability for everyday use.
A green felt base helps protect fine desks, tables and other furniture surfaces.
