Thanksgiving minimalism: Picky Nicky’s edit of top table must-haves

Now its November, that means one thing to me and that’s Thanksgiving. Therefore it is the perfect time to start planning how to set your top table.
This minimal proposition from WallpaperSTORE* - composed of refined elegant shapes crafted in crystal, black nickel, stainless steel, rich wood and graphic porcelain, above - we call 'American Piety.'

Take it all, or make your own selection from Gio Ponti’s black nickel centrepiece, Conca soup ladle for Sambonet and Bubble salt & pepper shakers by Gordon Guillaumier for Paola C. My other favourites include Orchestra dinner service by David/Nicolas for Vistra Alegre; flatware by Louise Campbell for Georg Jensen; Suiren dishes in Japanese zelkova wood from Time & Style; Josef Hoffmann’s 1917 stemware and Oswald Haerdtl's spherical glass Candy Dish, both for Lobmeyr; and the slender 'Boquet' vase by Mist-o for Ichendorf Milano.
