Royal Copenhagen’s Christmas Tables

December 2, 2011 by Jane F 7 Comments

Royal Copenhagen's Christmas 2011 - table with Christmas pastries on White Fluted Half Lace china and Flora Danica - Royal Copenhagen via ATticmagRoyal Copenhagen’s Christmas 2011 salutes family and tradition in Denmark.

With only 23 days to go before Christmas it’s not too early to think about holiday tables. So naturally, we turn to Royal Copenhagen’s Christmas tableware displays which open to the public at their flagship store. Showing the R.C. tables has become something of a tradition here at Atticmag, which Jane T first began three years ago.  Every holiday, the company selects prominent citizens to design tables in accordance with a theme, using their famous china patterns. For 2011, the  creators included owners of Denmark’s oldest pastry shop, a pair of jewelry designers, two generations of tea merchants, one of the company’s very own china designers, and a family whose holiday table revolves around fishing and the sea.

I’m beginning the tour with dessert. That’s a marron glacé (candied chestnut) [top] resting on what surely must be a whipped-cream covered chestnut mousse. This elegant table features White Fluted Half Lace china.

A divinely gilded piece of Flora Danica can be recognized immediately from the pierced lattice pattern and its 18th-century vibe.

I love the lures tied with twine around the monogrammed napkins and the little box of fishing flies as a table accessories. The cup is filled with moss (evoking seaweed perhaps?) along with mussel shells and faux sardines.

But it’s very special under a cloud of holly, and the Fluted Star Christmas china decorated with a garland and ribbon pattern.

Royal Copenhagen's Christmas 2011 minimalist midnight sky christmas table set with Flora Danica china - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagFlora Danica and the midnight sky make such a romantic dark table setting. I would never think to use this pattern with such a dark blue but it’s stunning!

Royal Copenhagen's Christmas 2011 tea merchant christmas table with various teapots - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagIt’s not difficult to guess that the tea merchants created this ‘scape, since it includes teapots in more than one pattern.

Royal Copenhagen's Christmas 2011 floral theme christmas table with boho centerpiece and blue-painted antique chairs - Royal Copenhagen via AtticmagWhat’s going on here? A mirrored background magnifies the effect of huge silk flower blossoms affixed to a tree trunk along a magical and slightly wild table with overturned chairs – as if someone was suddenly called away. The blossoms relate to those found on cups of a R.C. pattern aptly named Flora.
