A Hunt Club Inspired Thanksgiving Table
This hunt club Ralph Lauren approved tablescape for Thanksgiving features Buffalo Pottery Deldare plates, Carlo Moretti Murano goblets, plaid, rattan, and vintage Fitz & Floyd.
A crisp autumn morning when the frosted dew hangs heavy on the air.
Twin plumes of breath puff heavy from winded chests as hooves pound across the meadows.
Flying mud and the chorus of hounds ring up ahead as a copper-coated shadow fleets across the waking hills.
Hedges and streams streak by -- the chase is on!
When I discovered Buffalo Pottery's Deldare plates featuring scenes from the English sporting prints of Cecil Aldin I just knew a hunt club inspired tablescape was in order!
While I have never attended a fox hunt, I have spent several happy Saturdays tailgating at Virginia steeplechase events. The excitement of the crowds, skilled sportsmen, agile horses, and daring jumps coupled with the English country aesthetic is just ripe for an autumn tablescape idea!
Deldare Ware
These early 20th century Deldare Ware plates have the perfect autumnal palette and each one is unique as they were hand painted and even signed by the artists. Buffalo Pottery was an American pottery operating out of Buffalo, New York as part of the Larkin Soap Company's marketing efforts in the early 1900s. Deldare Ware is arguably the most popular line they produced and so distinctive with the khaki colored ground, teal and orange accents, and crisp whites.
A Hunt Club Tablescape
This Thanksgiving table idea starts with a bold plaid in red, blue, and green from April Cornell. It makes a bright statement that perfectly sets off the Deldare Fallowfield dishes.
Under the plates I used a rattan charger to bring in that rustic, woodsy element, while Indian block print napkins add a contrasting dash of pattern.
Amber cased glass goblets from Carlo Moretti bring a warm glow to the table.
I kept the centerpiece low and free flowing to create an overgrown rambling look that feels rustic and a little wild. Mini-pumpkins and apples fill the black wire basket with English ivy twirling and twining outward. A pair of Fitz & Floyd fox mugs anchor the ends filled with deep red roses, oak leaves, and mums.
All the florals and greenery either came from the grocery store or my back yard! Your Thanksgiving centerpiece doesn't need to be expensive or extravagant with the right vintage containers and some foraged foliage you can create a stunning display.
This is an elegant and artless approach -- just right for that English country, Ralph Lauren hunt club look! Don't you think?
