A Festive Vintage Christmas Table
Deck your table with nostalgic Christmas charm.
There is something magical about putting a Christmas Table together to tell a story about you, your family and or your friends.
Use vintage or odd glasses, plates, and spoon that have been used as a part of a family celebration before. This year, set the scene with vintage charm from Antique Alley.
Start with a crisp linen or lace tablecloth — worn soft with history, and full of character. Add mismatched crystal glasses and pressed glass bowls for sparkle, and silver-plated cutlery that glints under candlelight. Mix china patterns for a collected-over-time look — Royal Albert, Crown Lynn, and English floral sets work beautifully together.
Scatter a few old-fashioned decorations — miniature ornaments, baubles, or tiny brass animals — down the centre of the table. A silver teapot can double as a vase for festive greenery or hydrangeas from the garden.
If you’re visiting family, bring a piece of history as your contribution — a vintage serving bowl filled with trifle, a retro jelly mould, or an antique platter for Christmas pudding. It’s a thoughtful, reusable gift that stays long after the last slice is gone.
This Christmas, make your table shine with memories, sustainability, and one-of-a-kind vintage style — only at Antique Alley.
There’s nothing like the shimmer of cut crystal, silver, and pressed linens to bring Christmas memories flooding back. Create a table that feels like a treasured tradition — even if you’re starting it this year.
