Two masterpieces of the Georgian Enlightenment
Every design is faithfully reproduced from the original works.
The Dixon Collection
Samuel Dixon's embossed birds and flowers, hand-coloured by his apprentices in a picture ware-room on Capel Street and framed in black and gold.

The Delany Collection
Mary Delany began cutting coloured paper into botanical pictures at 72. Her nearly one thousand 'paper mosaicks' are now held by the British Museum.

Every set arrives in our presentation box: ready to give, or to keep for years.
The architectural and artistic heritage of the British Isles inspires every design.
A family business, made to exacting standards
Heritage was founded in Dublin by Audrey Emmerson, who learned the placemat-making process created by David Bauer in the 1970s. For 46 years our family made every mat in house.
Today the fantastic craftspeople at Lady Clare in England produce our mats to our exacting specifications, so we can give all our attention to the designs: masterpieces of the British Isles and classic European works, shown at the National Craft Fair in Dublin, the Spring Fair at the NEC in Birmingham and trade fairs across the United States.
Three layers, built to last for years
Made in England by Lady Clare to our specifications. Beautiful enough to collect, practical enough for every day.
Melamine surface
A very hard, scratch-resistant face that takes hot plates and dishes up to 150°C and wipes clean with a damp cloth.
Eucalyptus core
An extra-strong hardboard core made from eucalyptus grown in managed forests, so every mat stays flat and true.
Natural cork back
A cork backing that sits gently on the table and protects polished wood.
