All of the art work and collectibles being sold by Adams-Byrd Fine Art & Antiques have been collected and selected one at a time by the proprietor, an art historian with many years of training and experience in university art history departments, museums, galleries, and historic sites both in the U.S. and abroad.  The business has been based in the Washington, D.C. area for many years. The art and collectibles that we are offering to eBay buyers are special and unique pieces that have been carefully “curated” by us. 


[PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE --- Because of the smooth surface of the mats, there is “interference” in the photos from glare and reflections.]


If you are a fan of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia history and/or the College of William & Mary, this set of three English placemats will be a great entertaining accessory.

We have had them stored for “future use”, but we never got around to using them --  even with two William & Mary alumni in the family.  They are in excellent pre-owned condition.  Each cork backed thick mat has a scene surrounded by a pale green (and gold) border. Each scene has its title in the lower white margin (border):

  

The Governor’s Palace       Williamsburg

 

The Capitol       Williamsburg

 

The Raleigh Tavern        Williamsburg

  

Use them as placemats, as trivets, or as works of art that you can frame and hang.  Since Pimpernel sells serving trays made from these mats (in fact, we have two of them for sale on our Ebay store), if you are creative, you can transform these mats into serving trays yourself (frame them and put serving tray handles on the ends).

There were originally four mats in the set when it was made, but when we purchased it years ago it was sold as a set of three (without a box).

Each mat is 9” x 12” (and over 1/8” thick), and the center scene on each mat is 6” x 7 ¾’ (including its gold “frame”).             .

One of the mats still has its original red and gold foil label on the back – PIMPERNEL   MADE IN ENGLAND.  A piece of tape has been put over the round label to keep it from falling off.

These Colonial Williamsburg collectibles, vintage mats from the U.K., are attractive and functional. 



All items we sell are from a pet free and smoke free environment – unless prior owner history is noted above.
