One letter a month on the French table.
One table a month, and where it came from.
Every issue takes a single table — a supper, a holiday, an ordinary Tuesday worth dressing up — and shows how it goes together: the plates, the napkins, the colours that sit well next to each other, and the reason the pattern looks the way it does.
Because none of it was invented for the occasion. The Halloween plate comes from 19th-century English black transferware. The toile comes from Oberkampf's copperplates of 1770. The swatch plate is a real page from a French sample book, numbered in a clerk's brown ink. That is the part nobody else can tell you, and it is the reason the table looks like it cost you a week.
