ON THE HUNT: Gold Flatware

10.25.12

With the holidays less than a month away, entertaining will soon be on everyone’s mind, and if there’s one thing I wish I had to put on my table, it’d be gold flatware. Over the past two years, I’ve spotted it everywhere. Magazines. Catalogs. TV shows. And during the holidays, when warm colors — orange, brown and red — reign supreme, it looks even more fitting and fantastic.

Surprisingly, the majority of options are offered in contemporary styles. Perhaps, they’re afraid gold would look too dated in a traditional guise — not that I believe it for a second.

My mantra when shopping is simple: Ignore the trends. Buy what you love.

That’s the only way you’ll be truly happy. So if you love gold and traditional, click through to see more stunning, shiny options.

    I am trying to find additional pieces to match my WMF Cromargan (Germany) gold plated flatware. I don’t know the design name, but can send photos. circa 1980’s. If anyone knows this brand, please get in touch with me by email. I really want to finish out my set. Thank you.
