Very well done video. I am personally a huge Vanderbilt family fanatic, and I know almost the whole family history. Great job! Loved the dining room set up :)
I toured the estate two days ago and have recall seeing a documentary on all the big names, Vanderbilt, Carnegie but I want to learn more specifically about the family.
Fascinating! There's a lot of history behind this in "Fortunes Children: The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt." These dinner days lasted but a brief moment.,
It’s giving me anxiety to look at all these little pieces of crystal and silver. The poise it must have required to eat with all those things and people at both sides 😬
None of the items on the table would have been from their era. Most likely a bunch of thrift store finds to make up a presentable table for show. Note the questionable placement of the silverware.
This person mispronounced several words. The video did not flow and did not match the narration. Calling the table settings "fancy" sounds amateurish. "Elegant" would be a much better choice. This was high-schools level.
I'm sure it wasn't meant to be a professional presentation, but I did notice that the 'trident' fork was placed on the outside of the other forks, which is incorrect. It should have been placed to the Right of the plate with the 'tines part' of the fork resting inside of the bowl of the soup spoon and the handle angled out at 45 degrees. Camera could have been a bit steadier too. But aside from those tiny matters, I thought it was a fascinating presentation.

There are more spoons at one setting than there are spoons in my kitchen drawer.
The vanderbilts would have laughed at your sterling weighted candlesticks and mismatched flatware. But it’s still a nice home...
I wonder if it was the fashion for table settings not to match.
We were in Biltmore yesterday
yum yum yum!
And what Vanderbilt are you in?
Looks like the mansion in Hyde Park, NY
I think it's the Commodore? This is to small for Alice and Cornelius 2 he should have said
The men generally would be in white tie and tails
There is a a fail in candalabla. One of bulbs don't work. Major faux pas. One must let servant go.
Is this Alice and Cornelius or Cornelius the Commodore ?
