I can't remember where I first saw this, but every year since 1963, Royal Copenhagen has Christmas Tables decorated by Danish nobility and royals at their main store in Denmark. Here are images of some of this year's tables.The reindeer hides draped over the chairs and the antlers on the table give you a HUGE clue that you're in the north!
I especially like the crown on top of the soup bowl, and the enamel napkin ring with the owner's crest and monogram.
You can find the rest of the 2008 Christmas Tables here.
fur around food makes me nervous - but i love the way it looks. and i 2nd you on the crown topped soup bowl - really gorgeous!! and white dishes are always my favorite.

This is such a great post ~ I love all the tables! My cousins from Denmark were here this past weekend and brought me one of the Royal Copenhagen Christmas ornaments. So beautifully delicate...and it is hanging front and center on my tree!

How interesting! Can you imagine draping reindeer hides over your chairs? That's a first for me. :-)
