We are very excited to finally be able to offer (just about) everything you need to set your medieval table with style and grace. All the items in the picture above except the knife (and the food!) are available right now, and more great tableware is on the way. All items are made of leadfree pewter and are safe to eat with. Now would be a great time to upgrade your feastgear - or to help someone else do so.
The Folding Spoon is based on a silver example in the exhibition catalog,
The Age of Chivalry. The little beast's head slides down the stalk and
over the joint to help keep the spoon open. This is great for traveling; it fits
perfectly in your purse or the till of your chest. This year's hot item.

The Candleholder is copied after one now in the Museum of London. The original was probably 14th century. These are supplied with a candle for immediate use.
*Notice*:
Like the original, these candle holders have a small hole in the bottom of the
socket 
into which
the candle fits. This is probably a design feature in the original - it permits
you to easily shove the burned-down stub of the candle up out of the socket. It
also, as our testing has demonstrated, permits the last little bit of wick to
fall, together with a puddle of wax to fuel it, onto the table surface, where
it burns merrily. Please, supply some nonflammable barrier, like a bit of aluminum
foil, or a 14th century penny (the solution of one happy customer with numismatic
interests).

diameter 2" or 50mm

The Needlecase in the
shape of a tower is slightly adapted from a 15th C. needle
case from the Netherlands (Schatten) and similar to an English example (MoL, Pilgrim
Souvenirs, fig. 7). It has the names of the Three Kings of Cologne and an invocation
to the Blessed Virgin on the lower part. The upper and lower parts are strung
together on cords, much as contemporary leather etuis are made. This item is tremendously
popular with seamstresses and broidresses. It is a guaranteed winner as a gift
for your favorite medieval needle jockey.
Needlecase $20.00
3-7/8 x 1" or 97 x 26mm
