   Today is The Lord Mayor's Show.  If you'd like to bring London and State Occasions into your home, how better to do it than with these mats from the National Railway Museum collection

  The customary practice of nicking part of the table décor at fancy functions as a memento led one designer to take the idea one step further. Hostesses can send British designer Jenny Duff (www.jennyduff.co.uk) pictures and she will make a pack of coasters or place mats specifically for that dinner (£65 for six, plus postage), helping to steer conversation or mark an occasion. Music impresario and frequent party host Andrew Lloyd Webber is said to have had his Pre-Raphaelite art collection photographed and turned into place mats.

The mats were a commission from the Bedruthan Steps Hotel to adorn the tables of The Herring restaurant, which is within the hotel and has outstanding views.  They are available exclusively from Jenny Duff, please email or telephone to order.
