ABOUT PRODUCTID 37402
This set of six Pimpernel table coasters exemplifies classic British design from the 1980s, uniting practicality with timeless visual language. Each coaster is made from natural cork, finished with a smooth, semi-matte protective surface. The fronts are adorned with detailed illustrations of London landmarks, rendered in a style reminiscent of 19th-century engravings: fine linework, muted color palettes dominated by beige, cream, and pastels, and a subtle light gold-beige border. The square shapes with rounded corners and the visible natural cork on the edges highlight the set’s traditional, harmonious character. The set is preserved in very good vintage condition, displaying only minor signs of use such as slight edge wear, with no significant damage or discoloration. All elements are original and unrestored. The listed price refers to the set of six coasters, each measuring 10 × 10 cm.These coasters tell the story of British life in the 1980s, when everyday rituals still drew on classical traditions. The London landmark illustrations evoke the spirit of travel and a nostalgia for a bygone era, when afternoon tea or shared meals were celebrated with attention to detail. Each scene becomes a small fragment of the cityscape captured in illustration—turning the table into a map of memories, as the cork coasters quietly whisper of history and enduring tradition.The set can be used both for everyday meals and for more formal table settings in a living or dining room. The coasters work beautifully on oak or walnut table tops, paired with porcelain tableware, classic glassware, or silver cutlery. They may be combined with other vintage accessories—such as an English biscuit tin or a ceramic teapot—or used as a subtle accent in a modern, minimalist interior,
