FABBY: Antique Brass Candlesticks

OK, here we go, I'm doing what I love the most. ...Tablescaping!!  That's why I'm using my dear mil's antique, church candlesticks, she gave me a long time ago, I don't remember when; my husband thinks that they might be French because of the "fleur de lys" in the foot of each...what do you think?  I used a pretty brass fruit bowl with pedestal for the  flowers as a centerpiece, they go well together even empty. I also used my mil's 71 yr. old china, because it goes well with the place mats... you've seen before in another post!

 The two candlesticks and flower centerpiece.

 I love this tiny silver salt bowl with tiniest spoon!  Vintage, from a great aunt.

  Silver-plated tray and salt and pepper shakers.  

 A few vintage things like the clock, that was my fil's.  The porcelain pieces are also vintage.

 The placemats also came with a round doily, here with the cups ready for coffee after dinner.

 My mil's china  with the roses, which pairs well with the rose chintz of the placemats.

 My reticulated chargers that go with so many dishes.

 Here is the "fleur de lys" in the foot of the candlestick.

 One of the two big platters.   My mil's initials are engraved in the serving silver piece.

 The stemware is French, we inherited from my mil too.

 In this photo you can appreciate the placemats...I'm so glad mother gave them to me!  Bellow, the entire tablescape with my Italian brass lamp fixture.

I also want to show you my pretty, English chintz placemats, my mom just gave me, a one time gift from a friend that used to work in Fortunoff's, NYC, the beautiful store that now has shot it's doors...what a shame!   You can use both sides as the other side comes in stripes in the color of the roses of the chintz's, for a more casual table.  I hope you like this couple of elements I haven't used before in my tablescapes.
Thanking all of you, my dear friends in advance for all your wonderful visits and lovely comments.
Thanks once more to the lovely hostesses of the great parties for having me.  I will be linking to the following parties, I hope you do too and join the fun!
