Author	Topic: Silver in the movies
tjg-2002 Posts: 4 Registered: Sep 2002	posted 09-20-2002 06:22 AM Has anyone seen any good movies (mainly period ones 1700's - 1800's) that show silver in the correct style? Barry Lyndon is one I've seen that does. IP: Logged

I really like your question and look forward to everyone else's answers. IP: Logged

While not a movie, there was a PBS/BBC documentary about the Queen at Windsor that showed the main state table being set for a formal dinner. Two rather slight stewards walked down the center in stocking feet to lay out the enormous Lamerie centerpieces and candelabras. The head butler walked about with a ruler, measuring the placement of spoons and such. I believe it was said that they can set 120 people before straining the primary flatware stock. I wonder if they search folks after? IP: Logged
