Christmas is the perfect occasion to set a festive table with attention to detail. Fine china, sparkling glasses, and high-quality cutlery transform every meal into an experience. The timeless classic Augsburg Thread cutlery is particularly beautiful – a style, tradition, and quality that has stood for generations. The delicate thread decoration lends elegance to each piece and makes your Christmas dinner a true highlight.
To impress your guests, here is the correct cutlery order for a classic Christmas menu – whether you are planning a multi-course meal with fish, meat and dessert or simply want to set a beautiful table.
How to set the table correctly – this is how you arrange your cutlery:
To the left of the plate: This is where the forks are placed. The appetizer fork goes on the outside, the fish fork in the middle, and the main course fork in the center. This order corresponds to classic table manners and helps you create order and elegance on your Christmas table.
To the right of the plate: First the appetizer knife , next to it the fish knife , and finally the main course knife with the blade facing inwards. For meat dishes or roasts, you can also place a steak knife on the table – it ensures a clean cut and perfectly complements the set.
The dessert cutlery is placed above the plate – dessert fork to the left, dessert spoon to the right . This arrangement is not only practical, but also looks neat and harmonious.
The glasses are placed slightly diagonally in the upper right corner – in this order: water glass, white wine glass, red wine glass, champagne glass . This creates a clean and elegant line that brings visual calm to your table setting.
Table decoration tip:
With white linen tablecloths, warm candlelight, and subtle gold accents, you can accentuate the brilliance of Augsburger Faden cutlery . The highly polished stainless steel design beautifully reflects the light and creates a festive atmosphere – elegant, timeless, and dishwasher-safe.
Whether it's a classic Christmas dinner, a family celebration or a festive brunch menu: With Augsburger Faden you always set the table correctly – and demonstrate a sense of style down to the last detail.
