This charming little book is as much a time capsule as it is a "how to" book on proper table etiquette, circa 1934.
Table Service, by Lucy G. Allen, is sure to captivate and entertain it's readers. Covering a range of topics including cooking, entertaining, tablescaping, and table etiquette.
Chapters identify a range of entertaining scenarios and then explain in wonderful detail the ideal meal, "appropriate" tablescape/configuration, and tools, dinnerware, and serveware required to achieve the desired outcome. Most chapters include instructive illustrations and/or black and white photography of the final execution of each scenario. Even if you never plan on having to decide whether to use the Russian or English service for a formal dinner, you can still enjoy the illustration and photograph and rest assured that you are armed with the information necessary to make that decision should the need suddenly arise!
Covered in Denim Blue cloth with Gold lettering.

The cloth hardcover retains it's color well and only shows slight signs of fraying on the top and bottom edge of the spine. There is pencil writing (a former sales price) on the top right corner of a blank page. Otherwise the interior of the book is free of writing or marks of any kind. The pages are in great condition with no tears or dog ears. The pages have yellowed slightly but evenly with age so it seems more like the intended color of the paper with a stain or flaw. Please review all photographs carefully and zoom in for details. Feel free to ask questions. less
