Description
This is a still life of a table set for the Holidays. This would make a lovely Holiday greeting card.

The practice of dictating the precise arrangement of tableware has varied across cultures and historical periods.
The first table setting probably was introduced sometime during the the Medieval ages. It was about this time that the fork was introduced and gradually replaced the blunted knife as the preferred eating utensil.
The proper place setting that is closer to what we see today was developed during the 19th Century. That same place setting was refined over time until we have the place setting that is standard use for today's formal dinner gathering and the place setting that is generally used for the informal dinner party.
