Hunting Scenes Melamine Placemats - 30 x 40 cm Manufacturer: Lady Clare. Set of 4 in a gift box. Lady Clare Pigott, the founder of the company "Lady Clare Placemats", created her first placemat in Paris in 1932. She had collected antique prints from merchants in Berlin. Her husband was busy there at the British Embassy. For the evening diplomat dinner, the consumption of white table linen was so high that the high bills of the laundry brought Lady Clare to an idea. She built a placemat from a wooden hardboard, with a floral print on the surface and sealed it with several layers of varnish. At the next dinner party, she could exchange the tablecloth with the easy to clean placemats. Your guests were very impressed by the simple and very decorative way to create a festive table. Of course, the next question was: "Can you make me some?" A business idea was born from this simple construction. Today, the Lady Clare placemats are made almost unchanged. The base is made of wood, the decoration is printed on and sealed with a melamine layer. This coating makes the sets insensitive to scratches and bumps. A green felt is applied to the back. The sets are finished with a hand-applied gold border. Please clean all Lady Clare placemats and coasters with a misty soft rag. Rub damp areas dry with a cloth.
