Celebrate the tradition of British equestrian and sporting art with the Lady Clare Peter Biegel Small 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 knowledgeable horseman himself, Biegel brought an intimate understanding of horses and their movement to his work, giving his paintings a distinctive sense of authenticity and character.
Biegel studied at the school of celebrated animal painter Lucy Kemp-Welch and later continued his artistic development alongside renowned British sporting artist Lionel Edwards. His work became closely associated with the great British tradition of equestrian and sporting painting.
Lady Clare’s Peter Biegel Traditional Collection beautifully translates this classic sporting artwork into fine English lacquered tableware, bringing the atmosphere of the English countryside and equestrian world to the dining table.
Each boxed set contains four Small 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 provide a refined finishing touch, giving each placemat the appearance of a miniature framed sporting painting.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, tablemats, coasters, trays and decorative home accessories. These Peter Biegel Small Placemats combine classic British sporting art with traditional craftsmanship.
Measuring approximately 11.73 × 8.74 inches, the Small Placemats are ideal for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and more compact place settings. Their smaller proportions also make them an excellent choice when the larger Continental Placemats are not required.
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 help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the placemats.
The Peter Biegel Small Placemats are particularly at home in an English Country House, equestrian home, hunt club, traditional dining room, library or country cottage. Their classic sporting imagery also makes them a wonderful choice for anyone who appreciates horses 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 Continental Placemats, Tablemats and Coasters to create a complete English sporting collection.
