Charger Plates, Server Plates

Add Luxury to your Table Setting with Charger Plates

Charger plates, also known as server plates, are large plates used at full-course dinners where one usually brings out their 22-piece dinner sets to create a formal dining setting. Charger plates or server plates have been used since the 19th century, primarily to decorate or spice up the dinner table set-up at parties and weddings. 

Setting up a proper dinner table with the right dinner sets and home furnishings isn’t just a form of art but rather a skill that requires one to pay attention to the fine details of dining etiquette and its importance when entertaining in a formal setting. And charger plates or server plates, especially luxury charger plates, are the pièces de résistance that will instantly enhance your dinner table by adding a touch of elegance to the entire set-up.

It’s important to note that table charger plates aren’t large dinner plates. Rather, charger plates or server plates lay under dinner sets and serving plates, acting as accessories to elevate the overall style and dining experience. Nestasia has a specially curated selection of PVC charger plates or server plates that feature regal designs and metallic finishings, perfect for all your upcoming elegantly lavish dinner parties.  

What is a Charger Plate?

Charger plates or server plates are larger plates that lay under dinner plates and bowls at formal events such as weddings, client meetings, or evening dinner parties where multiple courses are served. 

Charger plates never come into contact with the food served or eaten. Rather, charger plates or server plates elevate the entire aesthetic of the dinner table. Nestasia’s PVC luxury charger plates or server plates are essential home furnishing as their metallic paint finishings and unique designs beautifully capture and play with ambient light, creating an enchanting visual appeal that effortlessly complements the overall decor. These meticulously crafted charger plates not only serve as a stylish foundation for each place setting but also contribute to an elevated ambience, making every meal a refined and memorable affair.

Aside from the role of improving the aesthetics of the dinner table, charger plates or server plates have many functional purposes as well. One of the most essential aspects is charger plates' ability to retain and preserve heat, protecting your table from markings and rings that have been unnecessarily imprinted on the table while also keeping the food hot and ensuring a pleasant meal throughout the occasion. 

Furthermore, charger plates allow servers to easily change and replace bowls and plates on the server plate. This ensures that the charger plates also protect tables, table runners, and table linens from stains and crumbs that are bound to fall during the course of the meal.

Therefore, if you want to leave a lasting impression of a gorgeous home, a warm welcome, and excellent hosting skills, charger plates are an essential home accessory that comes in handy to help you accomplish these goals.

How to set up a table with charger plates

Charger plates or server plates are always placed on top of tablecloths or placemats. However, it’s not important to use placemats, as charger plates act as a more luxurious version of a placemat and protect your tablecloth from any spills. In other words, charger plates are always the base for any dinner layout and as a result, dinner plates, salad plates, and soup bowls are placed on top of them.

Furthermore, charger plates need to match the ambience of the event. This means it’s not as simple as choosing any charger plate or server plate and placing it on your table. When decorating with them, you must take into consideration the location, decorations, the colour of the tablecloths, the design of the dinner set used, the silverware, and how formal of a gathering it is. 

For example, acrylic charger plates are often used in restaurants or events with many courses as they are both durable and visually appealing. On the other hand, glass charger plates offer a sleek and elegant look and are thus most often used in modern indoor settings.
