For your consideration is this vintage set of 6 cork backed pictoral coasters in their original box produced by Celluware Limited under the brand Pimpernel-Fayreings. The earliest advertisements found on Newpapers online document repository was dated 1969. The advertisement did not provide a photo of the product but rather a description of scenes of England and Europe. According to the advertisement, these are constructed of hard Swedish board on cork backing.
Each coaster measures 4 inches x 4 inches x 0.1 inch thick. Light foxing on them is noted, but it is very faint. One has a very faint liquid stain (Princess Street). I have cleaned and treated the set with archival safe solvents. Each coaster has a gold border. Lovely vintage set!!
The following pictoral coasters are included in this set:
- Edinburgh From Calton Hill
- Edinburgh Castle and Pipe Band (discoloration noted on front Pipe Player)
- Edinburgh Castle
- John Knox's House
- Holyrood House
- Princess Street (stain spots noted)WHAT IS A FAYREING?
Pimpernel gives new life to an old English word. A 'Fairing' was a gift purchased at a fair. Pimpernel appreciated the significance of this memento of happy holiday times and chose 'Fayreing' to describe their series of scenic place mats and coasters.
This set of six Pimpernel-Fayreing Coasters offers you: -
...A HOLIDAY MEMORY These fine colour reproductions show popular tourist attractions.
...A WELCOME GIFT A gift of Pimpernel-Fayreings is a delightful way of sharing your holiday.
...FURNITURE PROTECTION Pimpernel coasters are impervious to moisture. They therefore provide effective protection against stains and marks associated with beverages.
...A PRACTICAL ITEM Wipe with a moist cloth after use and these coasters will retain their charm and good condition.
