Silver Chargers and Plates

Plates have a variety of functions as tableware, but they can also serve as sophisticated components of your decor. Either as part of a carefully curated silver dinnerware set or a collection on display, vintage and antique silver chargers and plates can match every interior design aesthetic.

Chargers are large plates used in a similar way to place mats. They enhance the experience and appearance of a table setting.

Silver, the “queen of metals,” is a material that satisfies in any form, including antique and modern styles. Silver chargers and plates, as well as silver flatware and serving pieces or silver coffee and tea sets, recall the medieval era when royalty would dine with tableware crafted from fine metals.

Silver chargers and plates add elegance and taste to any collection and offer dimension in layering dining table arrangements.

“One of my greatest pleasures — because I can’t cook! — is setting the table,” says interior designer Nate Berkus. “And one of the things I love to do is pull objects off of shelves and side tables and create this interesting story of pieces that technically don’t go together or have any purpose other than decoration. I do that every time we set the table, whether it’s for dinner with friends or for the holiday table for Thanksgiving or Christmas.”
