Arte Italica honors the vision of its founder, Ann Skidmore, by offering the very best in quality and creative home decor design. Ann formed Arte Italica in 1997, as a response to her love of Italian history, culture, art, and especially vintage pewter. Finding it difficult to acquire in the United States, she began importing this fine Italian pewter. Soon, she was designing and importing handcrafted ceramics, blown glass, and bronze. This is your chance to sit back, relax, and enjoy taking a look at Art Italica: The Art of Setting a Coastal Style Table.
The Coastal Grandmother Style Tablescape
Before we get too much further, we need to take a look at what exactly the Coastal Grandmother Style is all about. Coastal Grandmother is an instant classic we cannot get enough of. We think about summers spent on the coast, and classic coastal-style decor. Crisp linens, comfortable furniture, dreamy blues and neutral hues all incorporate the Coastal Grandmother Style. According to trendwatchers, the “Coastal Grandmother” style is hitting it big. As always, everything old is new again when it comes to fashion & home design. To get the look, it’s all about layering comfortable and sophisticated pieces to create an utterly cozy space. Layering your table linens is important and don’t forget to add thoughtful details to your table like ginger jars, candles, & chic vases in muted tones & various textures.
Giulietta Blue Tableware
It’s no secret that we love creating beautiful table settings. Give us any excuse to take out the fancy dishes and glassware and we are all for it. And pitchers! We love pitchers! They make such a great focal point on any table. One of our new favorites is the Giulietta Blue Pitcher. It has such a beautiful classic shape and is perfect for serving beverages or being used on the table for flowers! This Italian ceramic, Hand made in Italy, can be used for any holiday or special occasion.
Another reason we love this pitcher is that it has several other, equally as stunning, matching pieces available in the Art Italica Collection
Silver or Pewter Accessories lend themselves very well to the Coastal Grandmother look, and the Arte Italica Collection has several pewter pieces. They are a little pricey but are truly astonishingly beautiful. Pewter gives a vintage look that is very popular today and it also works well with this chosen design style.

Elegantly shaped, the Sofia glassware is hand-blown and etched with a lovely white paisley design that works beautifully with many of our dinnerware patterns. Made for entertaining, these glasses are gorgeous with any style of table setting and tend to take on the color that surrounds them.
