Anyone who enjoys entertaining is sure to be inspired by these objects of charm and history, which bring elegance and finesse to any table. Among the list of items profiled in the book are numerous types of plates (from country stoneware to fine bone china), stemware (from fine crystal aperitif glasses to hand cut ruby quartz goblets), flatware (knives, spoons and forks of every shape, material and purpose), as well as serving platters, soup tureens, serving trays, chafing dishes, egg cups, napkin holders and more. Inès Heugel delves into the history behind each item. She expounds on detailing and craftsmanship, popular designs and proper uses. All the major historic manufacturers, styles and brands are covered. Also included is a chapter on table ornaments—from centerpieces to candelabra—that round out any well-laid table. Christian Sarramon's atmospheric photographs show each piece in a contemporary setting, and delightful reproductions of vintage engravings and lithographs adorn the margins, giving the book the feel of an old-time almanac. Laying the Elegant Table is the perfect gift and an ideal addition to your own collection.

A fabulous journey into understanding and presenting antique and vintage tableware.
2014年12月29日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
On citing the book for the first time I thought...Yes ideas for displaying my collection of antique tea cups ! To my surprise , though the title is a little misleading on first glance, it lives up to its promise. Ines Heugel takes the interested reader / collector on a fabulous journey presenting and explaining the history of a variety of tableware ranging from fine bone china plates and tea sets, stemware ( crystal champagne glasses to ruby quartz, goblets, ) flat silverware and serving trays to Faience and Centrepieces! Each chapter is devoted to explaing the history and value of the pieces, evolving styles,identification and provenance with tips for care and repair of items as well as tips for collectors. Each chapter presents elegant settings for display of the various tableware, such as stylish table settings, storage display highlighting the detail of each item through brilliant photography by Christian Sarramon. The romance of beautiful tableware is supported by various 19th century paintings as well as lithographs and engravings giving the book the feel of a vintage almanac. A visual delight and educational for interested individuals and collectors. Fabulous coffee table gift!

Great Source Book for Tableware
2009年12月11日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. This is a fabulous book on the history of tableware; everything from plates and crystal glass to salt cellars and centerpieces. It has a lot of nice imagery accompanied by some interesting text. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who makes functional tableware.

The book is more than just table landscaping. There is a wealth of information, with regards to the original usage, style, reason for the design

bought as a gift but want to keep it!
2011年2月19日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I bought this as a gift for my mother who has a slight obessesion with china & it is a lovely book.
From the front cover I thought it might just be lots of lovely photographs & displays... But each item mentioned in the title has a little section, with history, information & very nice, what look like, hand drawn illustrations.
The front & back covers are the best photos really so if that's what you are after then might not be the book for you. Personally I think it's better than just eye candy. Truth be told I have only flicked through it quickly as it isn't for me but I like what I saw... Some of the pictures struck as what could have inspired Amy Karols/Angry Chickens spoon collection art work. (if you know what I mean)
Any how hope this has helped. It's a nice book & you can't have too many books!

Title is a bit deceptive since book is not about "laying the..."
2007年1月28日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The title of this book ("Laying the elegant table: china...etc") is deceptive, since the book is not really about "LAYING THE ELEGANT TABLE" as stated right at the top of this very expensive book.
Rather, this book is like a history book about china & serving pieces with detailed line drawings showing some rare serving pieces. Historical.
Now, I have no problem with history books about china pieces & patterns, but the problem is that the title of this book would make a reader believe that this book is filled with page after page of table settings, layed out for special occasions, or for everyday occasions, etc. (eg: similar to the Carolyne Roheme books on setting a table, since Carolyne uses lots of Majolica,Faience,tureens and elaborate silver pieces throughout her books).
In this book being reviewed, there are indeed some pretty colored photos. The colored photos that are included in this book are very lovely indeed as others stated, but most of the accessories and china pieces are line drawings. Once again, I have to say that the title of this book is along the lines of "setting the elegant table", NOT "a guide book to china patterns". So this is why I've stated that the TITLE of this book is deceptive, NOT the information.
(Information = good; Title = deceptive)
As most people looking at this book on Amazon will notice, there is not a "click/tab" feature allowing the potential readers to browse through this book (known as: "LOOK INSIDE"). Thus, if you are like me, you must first of all buy this very expensive book ...sight unseen, before realizing,once the book has arrived, that this book is NOT about "laying a table setting", but instead, this book is actually a "guide" to china patterns & pieces . In other words, this is not a "how to book", as the title might make a person believe.
Once again, the colored photos in this book are nice, and the descriptions to all the black and white line drawings seem to be accurate . No complaint there.
Therefore, if a person is looking for a "guide" to some rare and interesting china patterns and pieces, then this book will be of interest, (if you don't mind paying the price, since I could not find this book in any Libraries). Please note though that not ALL china patterns are in this book, or this book would have to be a 10 volume encyclopedia! Instead, the author chose to show a variety of china pieces (eg: special patterns, such as, some French Faience styles, some Majolicas , etc).......Heavy on the French Faience.
The average person will not probably ever personally come across many china patterns in this book, as they are hundreds of years old and extinct. A Museum might be the only place where the rarest antique china patterns and pieces (from this book) would ever be seen. Once again, from an historical perspective, this book is like a history book about old china patterns and china pieces, illustrated mostly in B&W line drawings (the B&W line drawings being very detailed). But if the reader is looking for a book on how to set a table or how to display china pieces on a modern table, then there are other books issued on that theme.
