Express Your Grandmillennial Style: Only Undies, Gloves, and Socks Should Come in Pairs

Express your best self!

Aquire and use a collection reflecting your unique taste and style.

You wouldn't eat the same food everyday so why eat with the same plates, utensils, linens, and glassware? I hear you thinking, “Who has enough storage space for multiple sets?” We have the answer and it is so simple and elegant that we included it in Q Antiques and Design's mission statement:

Not Everything Has To Match.

At Q Antiques and Design, we believe decor should reflect the taste and style of the inhabitants of a home and obviously, this extends to the dinner table. What better way to show your sense of style and provoke conversation (all while being good to the planet) than allowing us to help you design a mix-and-match collection of monogrammed knives, hand-painted plates, and stylish glassware you can cherish with use?

When you adopt and enjoy examples of expert craftsmanship (sometimes long out of production) a broken plate is not a catastrophe (or just the sign of a truly great party...). Instead, think of it as an an opportunity to add another treasure to your collection to be admired and enjoyed all over again!

While a collection of twelve place settings and serving pieces is ideal—especially for those who entertain with abandon—part of the fun can be designing and adding to your collection over time. A knock-out, personalized service for four is a great beginning and there is no time like the present!

These thoughts are meant to inspire some creativity; maybe your style is embodied by crips blues and white, or inspired by your travels, or designed around special family heirlooms? No matter the inspiration, this stylish and on-trend movement is sometimes called Grandmillennial style and it’s part of the current home decor shift toward Maximalism or Maximalist Design.

Q Antiques and Design helped complete a mix-and-match set of French Limoges porcelain and Continental silver flatware for an American diplomat and style icon, Mr. Bobby Richey, Jr., and the equally discerning Mr. Larry Allen. It is breathtaking.

A (really) large set of antique + vintage French Limoges china in a variety of complimentary patterns, some printed and many hand-painted.

Give it a try and express your best self — we believe in you!
