French Roosters

This picture illustrates the subtle use of neutral colors and their ability to create a visually pleasing table. By choosing placemats the same color as the plate rim, we expanded the block of color surrounding the roosters on the plates, emphasizing them more.

The napkins are not white -- that would have been too stark a contrast.

Instead they are a soft gray-green, picking up on colors in the rooster centerpiece and unifying the table.

The black napkin rings draw your attention the the black feathers in the roosters on the plates.

Dinnerware: "Cour Normande" by Faiencerie de Niderville. Glassware: "Norwich" Tall Beaker by Simon Pearce.
