Stacked: Three Traditional Fine Dining Tablescapes for December

Classic, elegant, and elevated: Festive tablescapes sure to bring an ebullient air to your next seasonal soirée.

Whether you are leaning towards tradition or are taking a chance and remixing your favorite pieces this year, the holidays offer us a chance to bring a little more joy to the table. These three looks stood out to us for their masterful pattern play and/or brilliant nod to nostalgia.

CLASSIC GREEN AND RED CHRISTMAS

We’re living out our Ralph Lauren meets Martha Stewart Christmas with this Alexa and Parker Paschell pairing. This classic combo is sure to get all ages into the Christmas Spirit with its elegant design and well-curated pattern play. We love the cozy touches, like a holiday Tartan thrown over the back of the chiavari chair and the 24K etched Duchess goblets. It’s a table that blends the perfect amount of traditional and touching elements to make every guest feel warm, welcome, and nostalgic.

The ​​pièce de résistance: Versailles Gold Charger

A new perspective: Get an edge up on elevating your tablescape. We love the scalloped, gold-edge charger and intricate trellis pattern of the Versailles Gold Dinner Plate (also available in Platinum). The trick to this table is staying true to tradition with subtle touches.

ROMANTIC MAXIMALISM FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Cranberry, copper, and crimson tones layered with Ginori, lush velvet, and romantic bows? Say less! This is the tablescape of our memes and dreams come straight to life by Party by Erica.

The ​​pièce de résistance: Sèvres' in Peau d’Abricot’s (a softly warm, peach)

A new perspective: While the Ginori is obviously a showstopper on its own, adding the Sèvres' B&B brings a studied air to the well-curated tabletop. Likewise, the copper charger and cutlery add a fun and sophisticated metal element that feels so fitting for the holidays. This gilded stack offers a sophisticated spin on the girly aesthetic of the moment.

A CHIC WINTER WEDDING RECEPTION

There is something special about a bride who wants to stack the Anna Weatherley Collection with our Mottahedeh Tobacco Lead Dinner Plate. She’s likely the kind of woman who picked patterns for her registry and is known for her deep sense of style. This china stack is for the bride who is in love with the real thing and can authentically embody a classic aesthetic in a way that echoes her era.

The ​​pièce de résistance: Anna Weatherly Cobalt Charger stacked with the Mottahedeh Tobacco Leaf Charger

A new perspective: Anna Weatherley is renowned for her hand-painted chargers, making each piece an heirloom-quality accent for the table. Softly gilded gold edges with a deep cobalt base color, this specific charger is the perfect foundation for the more traditional allure. Inspired by the Old World artisanal tradition of Hungary, trained artisans hand-gild fine European porcelain with 24K gold borders. The European style evokes a vintage feel that bridges both traditional and contemporary lifestyles. Simple, yet elegant.

Stacked with the iconic Tobacca Leaf pattern from Mottahedeh, they provide a modern twist on tradition that our clients love so well. This is a formal table made fabulous. Bring it to your table when you need a chic place setting fit for a seasonal feast.
