"A candlelight dinner'"

The ladle, a utensil dating back to the dawn of time, is given a clever twist here to become a full-fledged decorative object. You can use this nickel silver item to hold a candle (not supplied). Nickel silver, a copper, nickel and zinc alloy, gives it a delicate patina look. It matches the "two spoons" candle-holder, which the online gift shop also sells.

The king had to abide by the Grand Couvert, a ceremonial public supper in his or the queen's antechamber, depending on the period, with guests in attendance. Military officers whose job it was to serve the king brought out one dish after another during the meal, which would last approximately one hour.
