Set once, gather all year
Set the Long Table
I set a table the way I style a room: a few honest pieces, layered slowly. A long dough bowl down the center, iron tapers at uneven heights, and one brass bowl for salt or matches.
Nothing here is seasonal, which is the point. Swap what sits in the bowl and the table reads as spring, fall, or a Sunday in July. Lemons, pears, gourds, bare branches.
Skip the runner. Wood, stone, and linen napkins are enough, and everyone should be able to see everyone else across the tapers.
