SynopsisAnyone who enjoys entertaining is sure to be inspired by these objects of charm and history, which bring elegance and finesse to any table. Among the list of items profiled in the book are numerous types of plates (from country stoneware to fine bone china), stemware (from fine crystal aperitif glasses to hand cut ruby quartz goblets), flatware (knives, spoons and forks of every shape, material and purpose), as well as serving platters, soup tureens, serving trays, chafing dishes, egg cups, napkin holders and more. Ines Heugel delves into the history behind each item. She expounds on detailing and craftsmanship, popular designs and proper uses. All the major historic manufacturers, styles and brands are covered. Also included is a chapter on table ornaments--from centerpieces to candelabra--that round out any well-laid table. Christian Sarramon's atmospheric photographs show each piece in a contemporary setting, and delightful reproductions of vintage engravings and lithographs adorn the margins, giving the book the feel of an old-time almanac. "Laying the Elegant Table" is the perfect gift and an ideal addition to your own collection., Setting a table is a neglected art. In this book, Ines Heugel proves that part of the satisfaction of food is the art of presenting it in the perfect table setting, showing how each piece is used and how they can be combined to create an aura of old-time elegance or bygone charm."
