Bring the art and mystery of Ancient Rome to your table with the Lady Clare Pompeii Coasters, inspired by the remarkable artistic heritage of Pompeii, Italy.
Located near the Bay of Naples beneath Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii was a thriving Roman city until the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 buried the city beneath volcanic material. The disaster also preserved an extraordinary record of Roman life, architecture and decorative art for future generations.
The homes and villas of Pompeii and the surrounding region were richly decorated with frescoes depicting architectural scenes, mythology, landscapes, still lifes and elaborate decorative motifs. Their survival provides a remarkable glimpse into the sophisticated interiors enjoyed by Romans nearly two thousand years ago.
Lady Clare’s Pompeii Traditional Collection draws inspiration from this extraordinary artistic legacy, bringing the elegance and decorative character of the ancient Roman world into the modern home.
This boxed set contains six coasters featuring a combination of four different Pompeii designs. Each design is presented against Lady Clare’s dramatic Black painted background, beautifully emphasizing the colors and details of the classical imagery.
Traditional hand-gilded edges add an elegant finishing touch, giving each coaster the appearance of a miniature framed work of ancient art.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, coasters, trays and decorative home accessories. These Pompeii Coasters combine inspiration from the ancient world with traditional British craftsmanship.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface is heat resistant to 150°C / 300°F, while the soft green felt/flock backing helps protect furniture. Lady Clare's distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during use and prolong the life of the coasters.
Presented in a gift box, the Pompeii Coasters make a distinctive gift for an Italy lover, Ancient Rome enthusiast, archaeologist, historian, classical art lover or traveler fascinated by Pompeii and the Bay of Naples.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Pompeii Placemats, Tablemats and home accessories to create an elegant collection celebrating one of Italy's most fascinating archaeological treasures.
