Bring the charm of 18th-century decorative art to your table with the Lady Clare Samuel Dixon Birds Tablemats, featuring colorful birds and flowers inspired by the work of Irish artist Samuel Dixon.
Samuel Dixon, who died in 1769, became known for his distinctive depictions of birds and flowers and for an unusual decorative technique known as basso-relievo. His designs were embossed onto paper so that the birds, flowers and foliage stood slightly in relief and were then carefully colored by hand.
The resulting compositions combined the beauty of ornithological and botanical subjects with the decorative character of 18th-century art. Today, Dixon's distinctive bird and flower imagery remains particularly appealing to collectors and admirers of historic natural-history and decorative art.
Lady Clare's Samuel Dixon Birds Traditional Collection brings the charm of these historic designs to the table, combining colorful birds and flowers with traditional British craftsmanship.
This boxed set contains six Tablemats featuring six different Samuel Dixon Birds designs. Each colorful bird and floral composition is beautifully presented against Lady Clare's classic Oxford Blue painted background.
Elegant hand-gilded edges provide a refined finishing touch, giving each Tablemat the appearance of a miniature framed work of art.
Since 1932, Lady Clare has been known for creating fine English lacquered placemats, tablemats, coasters and decorative home accessories.
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 or decorative objects.
The hard-wearing lacquered surface is heat resistant to 150°C / 300°F, while the soft green felt/flock backing helps protect the furniture beneath. Lady Clare's distinctive curved edges help reduce damage during everyday use and prolong the life of the mats.
With their combination of birds, flowers and traditional craftsmanship, the Samuel Dixon Birds Tablemats are particularly at home in an English Country House, country cottage, garden room, conservatory or traditional dining room.
Presented in a gift box, they make a distinctive gift for a bird lover, gardener, art lover, collector of botanical art or admirer of traditional English and Irish country style.
Pair them with coordinating Lady Clare Samuel Dixon Birds Placemats, Coasters and home accessories to create a complete collection celebrating birds, flowers and 18th-century decorative art.
