My vintage dinner plates are American transferware from the middle of the last century.
I wanted to dress them up a bit for this table, so I used a few vintage paper doilies as accents.
Folded at the top of the plate, they bring something just a little special to an otherwise ordinary table.
Glassware is vintage Fostoria from the same era.
Napkins are vintage damask with a monogram.
I've layered a couple of lacy vintage cotton tablecloths.
The monogrammed dinner knives are Buckingham by Gorham in sterling.
Teaspoons are Oneida silverplate. I love monograms and mix and match silver, and these complement my old monogrammed silver below rather nicely.
Thanks for stopping by for a look!
I'm off to see more tablescapes myself.
Ciao! for now!

Monograms are exciting and they can become a great topic at the dinner table - who is eating with grandmother's or great-aunt's? Our children compare their spoons, one can have a spoon from a skiing competition from the 1930's and the other a piece from a wedding gift from the 50's.
ReplyDeleteLoving all the doilies! I need to dig out the ones that I inherited from my grandmother and start enjoying them. The paper doilies look like tiaras. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, as always!
An absolutely delightful table. I love the addition of the doily, what a great idea. Great find on the silver. Thanks so much for bringing this loveliness to our eyes.
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, the doilies are a sweet addition. Looks like a crow for the plate. Loving your gorgeous textiles and the new silverware finds. What a deal at $1 a piece. Glad they went home with you. ~ Sarah

I had visited and couldn't comment.. but now.. yeah yeah.. I know it's been a hectic two days. I do so love that china. The pattern really speaks to my heart. The chosen textiles are stunning and perfect with it! Loved it first time, love it again now.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post!! I love the dishes and the linens as well!
ReplyDeleteIf you have a driving need to know;^), the center silverplate picture is "Grosvenor" a pattern from 1922.
