The Nordic table

Helle Stangerup: The Nordic table. Translated from the danish title: Tidens bord. A sweeping review of the cultural history of the dining table through 500 years. The region in focus is Scandinavia, but from here lines are drawn to several other countries that contributed to setting the trends. In a cavalcade of text, paintings and photographs, Helle Stangerup describes the changes in costums, manners, tableware, cutlery and ornamentation. Very fine copy.
