‘Tis the time of year when friends and family gather to celebrate with food, drinks, and seasonal festivities. Good food and drink, plenty of preparation, and of course, gorgeous décor make the season bright.

A touch of animal print or superfluous shimmer can turn an ordinary dinner party into a real feast to remember.

Hickory Chair dining chairs covered in a zebra-patterned fabric offer a modern contrast to the Royal Crown Derby dinnerware.
