Embroidered Placemat, Handmade in France, Design Sarah Espeute, Limited Edition
Located in MARSEILLE, FR
This placemat was designed by Sarah Espeute, artist-designer based in Marseille. Resulting from a collaboration with OROS Edition, this exclusive series consists of different lines of embroidery and fabrics. Sarah has assembled her scraps of old linen and cotton to form quilts. The black lines, symbolizing the grain of the wood, are made with a sewing machine, which brings finesse to the stitch but also a mechanical side that balances with the rustic and raw aspect of the fabric. The “butterfly” yoke echoes the “dovetail wrench” wood assembly, traditionally used to consolidate cracked wood. Use and care : Gently wash stubborn stains by hand using black soap before washing your embroidered linen in the machine. Do not use bleach as it will damage the fabric. Before putting your laundry in the washing machine, place it carefully in a special delicate laundry bag so that the embroidery threads are not damaged by friction. Machine wash at 40 ° c, cold, delicate program. Do not wring too hard so as not to damage the embroidery. Once your embroidery is washed, lay it flat so as not to distort it, away from any heat source and in the shade if you hang it outside. A word of advice: don't let the laundry dry...

Antique and Vintage Tableware

While it isn’t always top of mind for some, antique and vintage tableware can enhance even the most informal meal. It has been an intimate part of how we’ve interacted with our food for millennia.

Tableware has played a basic but important role in everyday life. Ancient Egyptians used spoons (which are classified as flatware) made of ivory and wood, while Greeks and Romans, who gathered for banquets involving big meals and entertainment, ate with forks and knives. At the beginning of the 17th century, however, forks were still uncommon in American homes. Over time, tableware has thankfully evolved and today includes increasingly valuable implements.

Tableware refers to the tools people use to set the table, including serving pieces, dinner plates and more. It encompasses everything from the intricate and elaborate to the austere and functional, yet are all what industrial product designer Jasper Morrison might call “Super Normal” — anonymous objects that are too useful to be considered banal.

There are four general categories of tableware — serveware, dinnerware, drinkware and, lastly, flatware, which is commonly referred to as silverware or cutlery. Serveware includes serving bowls, platters, gravy boats, casserole pans and ladles. Most tableware is practical, but it can also be decorative. And decorative objects count as tableware too. Even though they don’t fit squarely into one of the four categories, vases, statues and floral arrangements are traditional centerpieces.

Drinkware appropriately refers to the vessels we use for our beverages — mugs, cups and glasses. There is a good deal of variety that falls under this broad term. For example, your cheerful home bar or mid-century modern bar cart might be outfitted with a full range of vintage barware, which might include pilsner glasses and tumblers. Specialty cocktails are often served in these custom glasses, but they’re still a type of drinkware.

Every meal should be special — even if you’re using earthenware or stoneware for a casual lunch — but perhaps you’re hosting a dinner party to mark a specific event. The right high-quality tableware can bring a touch of luxury to your cuisine. Young couples, for example, traditionally add “fine china,” or porcelain, to their wedding registry as a commemoration of their union and likely wouldn’t turn down exquisite silver made by Tiffany & Co. or Georg Jensen.

It’s important to remember, however, that when you’re setting the dining room table to have fun with it. Just as you might mix and match your dining chairs, don’t be afraid to mix new and old or high and low with your tableware. On 1stDibs, find an extraordinary range of vintage and antique tableware to help elevate your meal as well as the mood and atmosphere of your entire dining room.
