Vintage Feature – From Elegant to Rustic, Vintage Silver-Plate is Chic

No doubt, I love vintage china, glassware and linens – the patterns, colors, and beauty all inspire me. But there’s another category of tableware from the vintage table to rediscover and admire – silver-plated dishes, flatware and accessories. Whether elegant, casual or shabby chic, the gleam of silver adds sophistication and richness to the table.

One cool feature of silver is the gradient from really tarnished to really shiny.   I love shiny silver but I also appreciate the rich patina of the darker, tarnished pieces. This metallic range of colors translates into versatility and style!

The first silver I started collecting for Southern Vintage Table was flatware. I remember finding several in a bin at the thrift store and making that decision to bring silver flatware into the inventory.  I knew it would take some time to build up a collection for a large gathering.  Fork by fork and spoon by spoon, we now have beautiful, gleaming collection of vintage silver flatware patterns.  How delightful that each guest may personally enjoy the beauty of silver with every bite!

Along the way, we also have collected beautiful serving trays, pitchers, bowls and platters. I did not have time this week to research the history and makers of these lovely pieces but plan to feature them in an upcoming article.

Want just a few accent pieces?  We have a little bit of a lot – bud vases, small trays, goblets, candle holders – even a vintage hairbrush.

Our silver-plate collection at Southern Vintage Table also includes a large wine cooler, ice bucket and serving utensils. As you plan your next gathering consider adding touches of this precious metal to your table. Whether a little darkened with tarnish or gleaming with sheen, vintage silver will dazzle your guests!  Be sure to check out more pieces on our Pinterest Board!

    1. That one is my favorite! I first tried to take a picture of this bowl but it was so shiny I kept getting in the photo taking the picture. I realized I needed to have it reflect something so I put the vase there and voila!
