Secret Life of Antiques: Collecting Antique Silver

Antique Silver makes your holiday table shine! The Holiday Issue of Victorian Homes Magazine is absolutely filled with inspiration of all sorts, I am thrilled that my latest article about Antiques is in such gorgeous company. Collecting antique table silver is not only fun, but silver is such a useful antique, too. Tables set with gleaming silver start the party in a sparkling way, nothing says "you are special" to your guests than a table set with beautiful silver pieces.

I hope you will get a copy of the magazine, it is available at your local market, Barnes & Noble, Target and many other shops. Many of the pieces I photographed for this article are available in our SILVER SHOP. silverblog55

You can read more about silver care and collecting HERE and HERE. I know you are getting ready to set a beautiful table for Thanksgiving, and planning your tables for all the holiday dinners and get togethers you will enjoy this season. There is still time to acquire a beautiful piece of silver from FrenchGardenHouse to make your table settings magical! silverblog3
