Autumn Table Settings in NYC

You can always count on Arte Italica to set a STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL table at market. You would think all tabletop companies do but that is not the case........This is a new introduction, Vigna Vecchia or Old Vineyard, a Tuscan scene in a soft hand painted red with a rustic creamy background of picturesque farmhouses and tall cypress trees......This lovely dinnerware is paired with a new introduction in stemware Ambra. I love these glasses, the only color other than clear I like especially this time of year...... I encourage you to click on these pictures to enlarge or you will miss detail....

This was Libeco Lagae, where Ed Reisert and his team skillfully presented their linen line.....Colors are fabulous..... My favorite is the Faro sheer linen voile offered insome of these colors........Also I love the Frescati runners shown here, they are damask like and reversible.....The borders on the runners are the same fabric turned over......



I love this table..... A not so little country French Table that is substantial and folds up....Retails in the 450 range......... for that French Country look offered by Comptoir de Famille. Great for dining al fresco.......I ordered for the shop......It is great.....




Back to Arte Italica a relatively new offering the mini casseroles and tea/ coffee pots with pewter lids with butterflies perched on top, hens, lambs, a bee on the honeypot. Just adorable named Compagna and Giardino. Some of these guys are on their way to Beadboard as we speak.



There was a lot of this chain motif this year. These platters and vase are oversized and WOW!
Paired with their new stemware they were gorgeous!
They are called Pallazzo.


I ordered these in the gold and silver, the Vittoria stemware... I would like to say why...The marketplace is, at this time, overloaded with gorgeous stemware that if you offer up a toast and clink the glass you WORRY............ Not the case with these. They have heft, are delicate looking and have beautiful shapes... Note the thickness of the glass where the stem starts....

Another example of the Vittoria stemware in the silver. This time paired with Merletto Antique. I loved this, a soup plate with lace detail in a putty color and a grey in the lace.......It is yummy as is the pitcher in the background. Also available in Aqua. Look at it paired with the glass and pewter flatware......Teture and elegance....More New York adventures to come!!!!
