Mix and Match
This set of placecard holders is a fun (and slightly more approachable) take on the trend of using deliberately mismatched silver at the dinner table—which, as I discovered on a recent trip, every restaurant in Portland, Oregon, is inclined to do. They've got a romantic, old-world vibe, and remind me of the type of thing that you'd find at some crumbling but wildly glamorous manor in the English countryside. And if, realistically, you're not the type who's ever going to bother making name cards for your guests at mealtimes, these could also serve you well as napkin rings.
