Silver is served …
The phenomenon of the tablescaping trend (the art of setting your table) has long been fodder for the style set. Think elaborate patterned tablecloths, floral plates on rattan chargers, bow napkin folds and palm-tree candlesticks. This year, we are seeing a resurgence of a more classic (shapely) style focusing on a mix of stainless steel, antique silver and EPNS pieces as the foundation of the setting. These timeless pieces – white table linen, vintage crystal glasses, silver serving platters, dishes, candlesticks and vases – bring a refined, heirloom-worthy vibe to the table.
TOP TIP: Vintage silver candlesticks feel both antique and modern at the same time, according to Kelly Wearstler, pictured above. Vary candle heights to add a dimensional quality to a table.
