Gilded Tapestry - a tablescape Tablescape

 

A gilded tapestry

It started with the tapestry. Made these to mimic some I saw in Santa Fe. Quite simple: Buy the fabric. Cut the fabric. Sew a tiny zigzag stitch around all sides about 1/4" inside the raw edge. Fray the edge.

First layer of gild: a charger backed in gold.

 

A white dinner plate.

 

The second layer of gild: a salad plate undercoated in gold.

 

A beautiful stack. Damask napkins in wooden napkin rings.

A crystal basket for the centerpiece.

 

Spider mums and some fitzer branches off of the shrubs outside.

A favorite that just seems to fit the season - rosewood handled brass flatware.

 

Mikasa water goblet with a golden hued wine goblet,

Create a gilded tapestry on which the setting sun works its magic.
