Royal Copenhagen Musical Christmas

Tis the season for our annual visit to Denmark to see the 2012 Royal Copenhagen Christmas tables.

Ho, ho, ho. Hard to believe it’s December when the tradition here at Atticmag is to travel to Denmark for a look the annual Royal Copenhagen Christmas tables event. For us, it’s become the equivalent of Fifth Avenue Christmas in New York and we hope it will provide great ideas for the festive dinners we will all be cooking (or eating) this holiday season. This is the fifth year we’ve shown R.C. tables — our co-founder, Jane T., did the first post back in 2008! (Links to previous years are below). As you may know, each year the emporium asks a group of Danish celebrities to set theme tables and this year, in keeping with “Songs of Christmas,” six musical artists participated.

Caroline Henderson is of Swedish-American heritage and her grandparents lived in Paris. Little wonder I was drawn to her table [top], set with monogrammed natural red-striped rough linens. I adore the slim Christmas tree centerpiece and the red tapers that coordinate so well with the homey linens.

Her table includes a kayak over the table in remembrance of  smoked trout her mom caught and prepared for the holiday meal. There are animal skin covers on the chairs.

Always so romantic.

After all, Christmas and New Year’s are the time to listen to your favorite carols while you haul out the “good” dishes, Grandma’s heirloom stuff, or whatever you have stashed away for a once-a-year celebration.

    I love the freshness of the Greenland setting! I might do some serious copy-catting.
