If there is one thing we love about the Harvest season, it’s the celebration of effort. With the harvest of high yields, we are, by definition, sharing the fruits of labor–a sentiment made even more special over Thanksgiving, where our determined efforts are made even more vibrant by extending their bounty to another.

We consider it a sign of adoration and one of our favorite love languages. And to that we say, adorn your table accordingly.

When preparing for a Thanksgiving table, an elegant tone must be set. Your gift is presence, and effort must be made. We encourage clients to surprise and delight guests with a feast for the eyes as well as the menu.

This is a time of tradition, where crystal glassware, sleek silver, and passed-down porcelain patterns really speak to the occasion. Below, we set one table three ways with tabletop rental collections that were chosen for the ability to do just that. Keep reading to see three looks that we are sharing now, set for your next autumnal milestone moment around the table.

THE HERO RENTAL PATTERN: THE EXOTIC BIRD

What can we say, we’re for the birds. Nothing feels more proper for the season than the rich jewel tones and iconic exotic bird design from Charles Sadek–an exceptional fine bone china with 18K gold detail and dazzling design. This is a pattern that understands it takes real effort to work a room, no matter how effortless it seems. We love its bold beauty and timeless appeal.

Set this collection when you need your china collection to be just as fashionable as your outfit.

Set and Stack: The Exotic Bird Collection works from brunch to dinner with its classic motif displayed across coffee cups, salad and dessert plates, and, of course, the dinner plate.

For look number one, we pulled the exotic bird’s jewel tones into the floral arrangement by R Love Floral while maintaining elegant undertones of taupe, brown, and smoke in plaid textures, wooden chargers, and crystal glassware.

THE HERO RENTAL PATTERN: LENOX ANTIQUITY

To antiquity and beyond! An inclination for keeping tradition alive is peak old soul aura, or more simply, good taste. Effort here is always an A+ in our book. The Lenox Antiquity Collection laughs at anyone who thinks she’s past her prime. She has experience in spades, which makes her wise in years but more youthful in spirit.

Crafted by Lenox, this collection features a pattern that feels contemporary despite its classical name. We love this pristine white bone china for mixing and matching gold and silver elements, adding a sophisticated air to brunch, or serving a full-course dinner over an evening with a well-heeled crowd.

Set her when you want a welcoming table to truly shine.

Set and Stack:

We love how it adds a level of contrast between the floral linen and modern glassware and flatware collection. Keep it contemporary with a midcentury modern chair or take the temperature up a notch with a sleek velvet Mila Chair in black.

THE HERO RENTAL PATTERN: MOTTAHEDEH TREE

There is a mystical element to the Mottahedeh Tree Collection that really matches the season. Where others abide, the tree endures, transforming the barren nature of the coldest seasons into a most beautiful omen of strength, longevity, and the incredible self-awareness to, ahem, rest. When, where, and how she blooms back, well, it’s a most glorious thing. What a quietly iconic collection!

Mottahedeh is a timeless American porcelain maker, gracing tables with the purest porcelain for over a hundred years for society tastemakers and presidents alike. We love how the chocolate brown, leafless tree gracefully winds across each plate and cup, serving an artistic feel to the table. Set her when you want to make a poetic statement.

Set and Stack:

We paired the Mottahedeh Tree with one of her fabulous sister patterns – the Mottahedeh Lace Charger in brown. This gives the table a neutral elegance, but it can easily be switched up with a jewel tone from the Mottahedeh Lace Charger Collection. Add turquoise, red, or purple to brighten the table.

Bring the proper aplomb to the party | Lend a P.O.S.H. pattern to the table and transform your next event.

Our one hard-and-fast rule for tablescape design is simple: Get out of the algorithm and live a little.

If you’re spending the weekend waiting on a table — or buying instead of renting — you’re missing the fun. Dish up something fresh for every dinner party that honors everything (and everyone) you bring to the table.

We are proud to offer exclusive collaborations and iconic china patterns, from Ginori and Mottahedeh to everyday favorites like Lenox and Bitossi Home. Explore our New Arrivals or browse our full catalog to find the perfect mix for your aesthetic and budget.
