If you regularly entertain and have company over, it's important to have nice, quality dishes to serve your guests with. Having a beautiful place setting is just as important as the food you serve. Warm conversation and delicious food definitely makes the occasion extra special too.
Lenox is America's leading tabletop and giftware brand. They offer fine china, casual dinnerware, crystal, flatware, giftware, home decor and tabletop products. Lenox's main mission is making your tabletop beautiful with quality dish and flatware. There are so many styles and patterns that you'll quickly fall in love with.
If you're a fan of Downton Abbey, listen up! Lenox has some fantastic tips for adding Downton Abbey style (from genuine old patterns of the era that are still mega-popular today!) to their entertaining. Everyone's having Downton withdrawal, and this is a great way to spend the hiatus, preparing for a big Downton dinner for the premiere of Season 3.
You might want to pare down the Edwardian tradition of serving eight to nine courses, and you may not measure the distance between forks as the long-suffering butlers do at Downton, but you can still set a magnificent table. For your “upstairs” fine china, you need to look no further than America’s iconic name in tabletop, Lenox. Many patterns from America’s leading dinnerware brand would be right at home in Downton, but perhaps none so much as
Autumn, which was actually designed in the period.
Originally introduced in 1918, Autumn could well have been gifted by their American relations to Matthew and Mary Crawley, who in the Downton saga (finally!) became engaged on Christmas 1919. It is still one of the most popular patterns in America today. The Autumn collection of fine china combines beautiful floral motifs and the jeweled colors of autumn flowers. More than 400 enamel "dots" are hand applied to form the floral and fruit basket design. The ivory fine china, enriched with a gold band, is wrought in the classic Lenox tradition that continues to appeal to every generation, but is perhaps no more in vogue than right now, with the world caught up in Downton fever.
Crafted of Lenox ivory fine china accented with 24 karat gold and enamel jeweling Dishwasher-safe. The set includes a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread plate, and cup and saucer.
How beautiful is this set? When I look at it, I'm instantly transformed to a large dinner table in the 1900's with royalty. The pattern is classic and timeless and can be used for years to come. A great way to celebrate the season premiere would be to have a Downton Abbey viewing dinner party using this set to serve your guests. How fun would that be? I bet you can envision the party now!
