Romancing the Table

At the center of the table, vintage Ralph Lauren Hampton floral dinnerware, made in England, anchors the composition with romantic florals in deep, moody tones. Each Stewart tartan rimmed plate rests on a Black Watch tartan runner, with coordinating napkins that nod to heritage textiles and quiet luxury.
Custom antler candelabras with silver plate bases add sculptural height and woodland charm. Their flickering flames dance across 1900s Baccarat Richelieu rose coupes, which sit atop a vintage mirror tray and cast a brilliant play of crystal light across the setting. Tortoiseshell accents bring depth and polish, from the Sabre Paris five piece place settings to William Yeoward’s Vanessa tortoise wine glasses. Small finishing touches include vintage Tiffany Provence pattern butter spreaders, hotel silver salt and pepper shakers, and a beloved majolica 19th century English gurgling cod jug.
Vintage wine buckets add both function and elegance, while the centerpiece, a dramatic arrangement of seasonal blooms, bursts from a rare 1800s Sheffield silver plate wine cooler. Small sipping William Yeoward Crystal Merle Shot Glasses and a William Yeoward Crystal Georgia Bottle Stand add places for the light to reflect and capture the magic fall light of this romantic fall table. The effect is one of English country manor grandeur layered with texture, story, and grace.
