Celebrate the tradition of British equestrian and sporting art with the Lady Clare Peter Biegel Continental Placemats, featuring the work of renowned British sporting artist Peter Biegel.
Peter Biegel (1913–1988) was a distinguished British equestrian and sporting artist, particularly admired for his paintings of horses, racing, hunting and traditional country pursuits. A horseman himself, Biegel brought an intimate understanding of horses and their movement to his work, giving his paintings an authenticity that continues to appeal to equestrians and collectors of British sporting art.
Biegel studied at the school of celebrated animal painter Lucy Kemp-Welch and later continued his artistic development alongside renowned sporting artist Lionel Edwards. His career became closely associated with the great British tradition of equestrian painting.
Lady Clare’s Peter Biegel Traditional Collection beautifully translates this classic sporting artwork into fine English lacquered tableware, making these placemats equally suited to the dining table of a country house or the home of a horse and sporting enthusiast.
Each boxed set contains four Continental Placemats featuring four different Peter Biegel designs. The artwork is presented against Lady Clare’s classic Bottle Green painted background, a rich traditional color particularly well suited to the collection's English sporting character.
Elegant hand-gilded edges frame each scene and give the placemats the appearance of miniature sporting paintings.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, tablemats, coasters, trays and decorative home accessories. Made in Great Britain, these Peter Biegel placemats combine classic British sporting art with traditional craftsmanship.
The generous Continental size, measuring approximately 15.5 × 11.5 inches, provides ample room for a dinner plate, flatware and glassware while still allowing the distinctive equestrian artwork to remain visible.
A hard-wearing, heat-resistant lacquered surface helps protect the dining table, while the soft green felt/flock backing protects the furniture beneath. Lady Clare's distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during everyday use and prolong the life of the placemats.
The Peter Biegel Continental Placemats are particularly at home in an English Country House, equestrian home, hunt club, traditional dining room or country cottage. Their classic imagery also makes them an exceptional choice for anyone who appreciates horses, racing and British country life.
Presented in a gift box, they make a distinctive gift for a horse lover, equestrian, racing enthusiast, sporting art collector or admirer of traditional British country style.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Peter Biegel Coasters, Small Placemats and Tablemats to create a complete English sporting collection.
