Victorian hostesses could greet a naval guest with the Boat, a bishop with the Mitre and a reigning belle with the Fan. This little manual explains, fold by fold and with numbered figures, how to turn a serviette into the Escutcheon, the Chestnut Pocket, the Shield, the Crown, the Cornucopia, the Bread Basket and many other ornamental shapes for the dinner table.
A charming practical guide for anyone planning a formal dinner or a period table setting. Download the free EPUB.
