Worcester Ware Placemats & Drink Coasters Set of 12 | Rosa Gallica Pontiana

Exceptional complete set of tin and cork table mats with botanic design echoing the famous 19th-century French botanical illustrations by Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Presented in unused condition along with an original box for the placemats (not for the drink coasters), they reflect the mid-century trend of merging functional home goods with classical art. They are sold together as a set of 6 circular placemats and 6 drink coasters. Manufacturer: Produced by Worcester Ware, a popular British maker of mid-century metal/tin kitchen and homeware known for transferring art to household items. The Rosa Gallica Pontiana (also known as the Pontic rose) design is lifted directly from the renowned 19th-century Les Roses botanical folios created by Claude Antoine Thory and illustrated by Pierre-Joseph Redouté.

You can buy with confidence from our eclectic range of genuine vintage and antique items. Our customers know that buying vintage is good for the planet, while we also get something that was made with quality and endurance in mind. Over the years we have collected hundreds of beautiful examples of early to mid 20th century homewares produced mainly in England and Europe by reputable makers. As manufacturing of these products in most cases ceased around the 1970s, the surviving items will become ever more precious. Please remember that signs of wear and flaws in vintage items actually add to their charm and tell us a story, that’s why we love them!
