From a fascination with natural elements (it was the age of Darwin, you recall), to a passion for detail and excess, the Victorian era had style galore in every aspect of life. With a utensil for every imaginable course and food at dinner, the Victorians knew how to set a table in style!
Marrying their love of nature with their love of eating utensils, we too have an passion for all kinds of pieces, from forks to knives.

And let's not forget custard glass - this set of 6 tumblers by Northwood in the Louis XV pattern circa 1890 was a a particularly wonderful find!

It's lovely to see a revived interest in this period
and all its elements. Hope you design your next dinner party with a bit of Victorian style!
We're out and about hunting for new treasures. In the meantime, Bon Apetit! - marilyn
