The idea for a placemat decorated with a coloured print was born out of the harsh economic climate of the 1930's. Lady Clare Pigott, the original founder of the company, created the first such place mat in Paris in 1932. She had collected antique prints from dealers in Berlin where her husband was attached to the British Embassy. Having to entertain diplomats during their next posting to the Embassy in Paris, Lady Clare became concerned at the laundry bills she was incurring for the starched white table cloths formality required her to use for dinners. As a result she created some place mats from shaped and painted hardboard with a flower print applied to the surface and several coats of lacquer. For her next dinner party she was able to remove the table cloth and lay the table using her placemats. Her friends were most impressed by this simple and attractive way of decorating a dining table. Inevitably the next question was ... can you please make some for me? From these simple origins a business was born. Our range now includes placemats for formal and casual dining as well as accessories such as waste bins and trays. With over 70 years experience, Lady Clare is synonymous with design, quality and service.

Most people associate the name AGA with good food and fine living, but many are unaware of the rich and interesting history that lies behind the world’s most famous cooker. Although often thought of as quintessentially British, the AGA actually began life in Sweden. The cooker that has become the heart of the home in more than 750,000 households around the world was invented by Dr Gustav Dalén, a blind Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Appalled that his wife and their maid had to constantly tend to their old-fashioned range, Dalén set about designing a thoroughly modern cooker. It’s unlikely he could have predicted that his invention would go on to be widely acclaimed as a design icon. But there’s also so much more to the AGA brand, including a range of distinctive conventional cookers, wonderfully cool refrigeration products, a massive collection of fabulous cookware and a line-up of AGA-branded stoves to suit every home. So, enjoy the site and take time to learn about the full range of products and services that together make AGA the heart of the home.

Holder of the coveted Royal Warrant to Her Majesty the Queen, the Irish Linen Company was situated in London's historic Burlington Arcade from 1953 - the Coronation year - until December 2006. It now has an office outside of London where it continues to supply its illustrious clients. The Irish Linen Company has been a magnet for the naturally discerning for over one hundred and twenty-five years. Established in 1875 in the Midlands by the current owner's grandfather, then as now, the Company specialised in the sourcing and selling of the finest Irish Linens. During the 1930's the Irish Linen Company branched out into London's Bond Street, but faced with fierce opposition and a closing of ranks between the competition, ceased trading within six months. Undeterred the Irish Linen Company concentrated on developing its Midlands' operation, reopening in its landmark location of Burlington Arcade, Mayfair in 1953. Today over fifty years later, the Irish Linen Company remains the last family-owned firm of its kind in the world, and is now run by the tradition continued by Prue, wife of the third generation to run the business. Rooted in supreme craftsmanship, the Irish Linen Company's reputation centres on selling the finest linens on the market - its collection includes Jacquard weaves, delicate hand-embroideries and plain weaves which are stunning in their quiet simplicity.
