Antique Royal Stewart Waterproof Picnic Blanket – Regal Style for Outdoor Adventures

Product Description

Elegant, understated and wonderfully practical, the Antique Royal Stewart Waterproof Picnic Blanket brings timeless Scottish heritage to outdoor living. Inspired by the beautifully muted tones of the much-loved Antique Royal Stewart Clan tartan, this luxury picnic blanket features rich russet reds softened with gentle teal, beige and cream, creating a warm, autumnal palette full of character and sophistication.

Favoured by the late Queen Mother, the Antique Royal Stewart tartan carries a sense of quiet refinement and enduring heritage, making this picnic rug feel every bit as special as it is useful. Whether spread beneath open skies for relaxed countryside picnics, packed for sporting events and festivals, or kept close at hand for spontaneous outdoor moments, it effortlessly combines style with practicality.

Expertly crafted from 100% pure new wool, this generously sized picnic blanket offers superb warmth, softness and durability. The robust waterproof backing protects against damp ground, while the practical carry straps and storage pockets make transport and repacking wonderfully simple.

Naturally breathable, insulating and hardwearing, wool is perfectly suited to outdoor adventures throughout the seasons. And thanks to the timeless tartan design and exceptional craftsmanship, this is a picnic blanket designed to be enjoyed and treasured for many years to come.

Beautiful enough for gifting and practical enough for everyday use, it makes a thoughtful wedding, anniversary, birthday or housewarming present for lovers of heritage style and outdoor living.

FAQs

Where are the blankets made?

We are proud to say that all of our blankets are 100% British, being woven in traditional textile mills in all four home nations.

Every piece is crafted using time-honoured techniques by skilled makers and thoughtfully designed to blend beauty, heritage, and everyday comfort.

Can I order a blanket as a gift to be sent to the recipient direct?

Absolutely, we can send your chosen blanket directly to the recipient — simply enter their name, address and your gift message at checkout.

To make it extra special, you can add our luxury gift wrap option: your blanket will arrive in a white gift box, wrapped in tissue and ribbon, with a handwritten card — perfect for birthdays, weddings, or just-because moments.

Are the blankets sustainably made?

Yes — sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. All of our blankets are crafted in the UK using 100% natural wool, a renewable, biodegradable fibre. Most of our collection is made from mono-material yarns, which simplifies recycling and supports a circular approach to home textiles.

We’re also proud to offer a Recycled Wool Collection, made by re-weaving surplus and leftover yarns that would otherwise go to landfill. These blankets are not only eco-conscious, but full of character — each one is unique.

We work exclusively with mills that prioritise ethical sourcing and animal welfare, ensuring our blankets are as kind to the planet as they are to people.

Are they made from natural materials?

They are indeed — all of our blankets are made from wool, a natural and renewable material. Unlike synthetic fibres, wool is fully biodegradable and won’t release plastic microfibres into the environment.

We choose mono-material yarns wherever possible, meaning our blankets contain just one fibre type. This makes them not only gentler on the planet, but also easier to recycle at the end of their life.

Do you delivery internationally?

Yes, we’re delighted to welcome international customers — it means so much to us that our blankets are loved around the world.

International shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and weight. Wherever possible, we use your country’s trusted national postal service to ensure safe and reliable delivery.

We always aim to keep shipping costs fair and transparent, if you have any questions before ordering, we’re just a message away. Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a treat for yourself, we’ll make sure your blanket arrives beautifully wrapped and ready to enjoy — no matter where you are.
