Silver Dessert Stand or Macaron Holder

We've created this incredibly elegant and unique Silver Dessert Stand or Macaron Holder with the help of a very talented silversmith.

Inspired by the French Patisserie or Salon de Thé popular in Paris, this three-tiered stand has six individual holders for your favorite petite dessert or macaron. 

How would we style This Silver Dessert Stand?

Centerpiece: It can be placed at the center of the table instead of a centerpiece. Layer it with petite desserts (tarts, petits fours, macarons), flowers, or pieces of fruit.

Tea Service: One can be placed between every two people as a dessert or tea service.

Dessert Display: Give height or interest to your collection of desserts.

Cocktails: Place small bowls (glass bowls, silver, or crystal salt cellars) containing nuts or other cocktail treats.

19th Century Design and Symbolism

At Sugar et Cie, we love the symbolism found throughout the 19th c. in jewelry, home decor, and artwork. This piece is no different. At the top of this hand-crafted stand sits a finial in the form of an artichoke. It is not uncommon to find an artichoke on other silver pieces from this period. An artichoke was a symbol of love and devotion and hope for prosperity.

• The tray is silver plated. Lightly wipe with soapy water by hand as you would any other piece of silver. Dry with a soft cloth. It is best if you store it in an anti-tarnish cloth bag. If they are left out for a period of time, tarnish will develop as with any piece of silver, Gently wipe off tarnish with a silver polishing cloth. It can be disassembled for cleaning or storing.
