Experience Scotland’s Heritage with the Edinburgh Castle Placemat
Bring a touch of Scotland’s rich history and vibrant culture into your home with the Edinburgh Castle Placemat, a distinctive piece from the Edinburgh & Glasgow Art Gallery collection. This placemat is more than just a practical dining accessory; it’s a celebration of one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks, beautifully rendered through original Scottish artwork.
The design captures the essence of Edinburgh Castle, perched majestically on Castle Rock, evoking the weight of centuries of history and national pride. The artwork reflects an impressionistic style that emphasises mood and atmosphere over photorealism, using bold brushstrokes and vibrant colours to recreate the dramatic interplay of light and shadow that defines the castle’s silhouette against the dynamic Scottish sky. You might even sense the subtle presence of the famous Edinburgh haar mist, which adds a mysterious and evocative quality to the scene.
High-Quality Craftsmanship for Everyday Elegance
Each placemat is crafted with care to combine artistic beauty with everyday functionality. The high-resolution reproduction of the original painting is printed with a glossy finish, enhancing the vivid colours and intricate details, while making it incredibly easy to wipe clean after meals. Its sturdy 4mm thick wooden fibreboard base offers a premium feel and long-lasting durability, ensuring it can withstand daily use without losing its charm.
The placemat features a non-slip cork backing to protect your dining surfaces from scratches, spills, and heat damage, making it as practical as it is beautiful. With dimensions of 11 x 8 inches, it accommodates dinner plates and cutlery perfectly, making every meal feel like a special occasion surrounded by art and history.
