A Golden Turkey Thanksgiving Tablescape

I did another gold Thanksgiving tablescape five years ago but this tablescape has been changed a bit with new elements added. Unfortunately the gold colors don’t photograph well. The dishes, tablecloth, and napkins are a warm gold color and the color gets washed out in some of these photos. I found the leaf tablecloth on Amazon several years ago.

This Bordallo Pinheiro Turkey salad plate comes in green as well and there is another design without the turkey in the middle but I like this color and design the best. I love the warm golden amber color of these plates and the detailed raised design. The plates were made in Portugal and I bought them on Ebay as I saw them over a few years.

I used this dinner plate on an acorn tablescape that I did a few years ago as well as on the Thanksgiving tablescape that I did five years ago.

I bought these gold colored glass chargers many years ago at Z Gallerie online. I remember that I bought them a few at a time over several months until I had twelve because they were expensive. They are heavy glass and the charger edge reminds me of leaves. They are for sale now at various places online for a lower price but some of those are plastic.

You can see the raised design on the tablecloth in this photo. This tablecloth is actually a much warmer gold color than the photo shows. This gold plated flatware was a gift from Hubby a few Christmases ago. I had bought a cheap set of gold flatware several years ago. It was poor quality and the gold started flaking off. You get what you pay for! We found this set on major sale at Macys. It is made by Wallace and is called Mikasa Duchess Gold. It is a brighter gold than this photo shows and it is heavy. I love the design on the handle. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

This photo shows the actual color of the tablecloth and napkins more accurately than some of the other photos. I bought the matching napkins when I bought the tablecloth on Amazon. The tablecloth and the napkins have a leaf design on them. These cloisonne turkey napkin rings came from Williams Sonoma probably last year.

I am not sure where I bought these turkey place card holders but they were a great match for the Bordallo Pinheiro plates. I probably found them on Ebay a few years ago. To read about the what, where, and how of place card holders, please click here.

The amber glass goblet on the left came from Pier 1 on sale right before our store closed several years ago. I love how tall they are. The antique cut amber goblet on the right came from Pottery Barn earlier this year. This goblet comes in red, green, blush, clear, and blue as well. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

I bought this turkey centerpiece at Z Gallerie online earlier this year. It was an odd silver-gold color but Hubby spray painted it with more gold for me to match this tablescape. It is more gold than this photo shows.

The Bordallo Pinheiro gold turkey candlesticks on this tablescape match the plates although some of the photos don’t show their accurate color. I bought them on Ebay several years ago.
