Bring the art and mystery of Ancient Rome to your table with the Lady Clare Pompeii Tablemats, 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 mythology, landscapes, architectural scenes, still lifes and elaborate decorative motifs. Their remarkable survival provides a fascinating glimpse into the sophisticated interiors of the ancient Roman world.
Lady Clare’s Pompeii Traditional Collection draws inspiration from this extraordinary artistic legacy, bringing the elegance and decorative character of Ancient Rome to the modern table.
The Pompeii artwork is presented against Lady Clare’s dramatic Black painted background, which beautifully emphasizes the colors and details of the classical imagery. Traditional hand-gilded edges provide an elegant finishing touch, giving each Tablemat the appearance of a miniature framed work of ancient art.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, tablemats, coasters, trays and decorative home accessories. The Pompeii Collection combines inspiration from the ancient world with traditional British craftsmanship.
Measuring approximately 9.37 × 7.91 inches, these versatile Tablemats are ideal for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, desserts and smaller place settings. They can also be used beneath serving dishes, bowls, bottles or decorative objects.
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 mats.
With their classical imagery and elegant black-and-gold presentation, the Pompeii Tablemats complement both traditional and sophisticated contemporary interiors.
Presented in a gift box, they 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, Coasters and home accessories to create an elegant collection celebrating one of Italy's most fascinating archaeological treasures.
