Gilded Dining - Black, Gold & White

The Gilded Age of the late 19th and early 20th century was a time of industry and growth in the United States. During this time, exquisite homes were built using opulent materials that denoted the wealth and prosperity of the time. 

Perhaps because of the upcoming release of the Great Gatsby movie, or because we are all so wishful of the return of our country to those more prosperous days, the resurgence of that style of decorating is making a comeback. However, it should be reflective of our more modern and frugal times. 

If you enjoyed my previous post on black and gold decor, I hope you will take a look at elements that you can use to implement a bit of that glamour and opulence of that gilded time into your own home.

Here are elements of a dining room. I made the background white or soft grey (here) so you can see how it would play. The white is more crisp and contrasting. The grey softens it and creates a bit more warmth.

1. Dining Chair - Gold-embossed velvet and black gloss wood chairs (here)
2. Chandelier - Silver/gold leaf finish hanging light (here)
3. Artwork - 'The Fact' (here)
4. Dinnerware - Gold place setting (here)
5. Chair - Leather and brass (here)
6. Bowl - Large Bird (here)
7. Vitrine - Brass cabinet (here)
8. Dining Table - white (here)
9. Flatware - Brass (here)
10. Tray - Gold leaf (here)
11. Table lamp - Crystal base (here)
12. Horse - Pottery figure (here)

Stay tuned for my next blog on how to put a gilded living room together. What are your thoughts? Would love to hear from you.
