Chargers are used underneath plates and bowls for serving purposes. They are a great way to add flair to your tables and accent existing tableware. A good charger should be slightly larger than the piece of tableware that it is being used with. Chargers come in many styles, colors, designs, and sizes. It is a good idea to choose versatile chargers that can be used with different table settings. Silver toned chargers with a mirror-like finish are not only versatile but are also beautiful and bring a simple touch of elegance to the table. These 12" Gold Plated Beaded Edge Charger Plates have a gold-plated beaded edge along them and keep their shine thanks to a nickel plated base plate.
