I have a fabulous antique damask linen tablecloth from the world-famous Ritz Hotel, Paris to list in my auctions today. It is a stunning piece; fine linen embellished with The Ritz crown and crest and with divine crowns in each corner.
But could someone tell me the secret to photographing white damask?
I tried indoors using a flash and without the flash; held it to the light; took it out in the sunlight - yet I still don`t feel I have done it justice. There must be a secret to it!
And have you ever had tea at The Ritz?
What a find! I have had afternoon tea at the Ritz in London but not in Paris. I love afternoon teas and the Ritz was the perfect setting.

No I haven't, Mum recently had tea at the Vanderbilt.
RépondreSupprimerI love tea and we sometimes have proper tea parties on the lawn.
Sorry can't help with the photo problem!

Many many years ago I often had tea at the Ritz in London because I lived at marble Arch and worked in Baker Street. I used to meet a musician who played for the tea dances !!!!!!!!!
RépondreSupprimerI went with my husband and sister to the Ritz, but they would not let my husband in as he was not suitably dressed so... I left him to wander the streets and my sister and I had a ball!
RépondreSupprimerWas that a really bad thing to do?..
Well, you did ask!
No I`d have left him too!!! I hope you saved him something for afterwards!!
