A 1988 Holiday Tables display features a candelabra and antique clock. 1988, Cranbrook Archives.

Since 1975, the Cranbrook House and Gardens Auxiliary has hosted their glamorous yearly fundraiser “Holiday Tables” in November.  An invitation to local retailers and decorators to show off their holiday decorating chops, Holiday Tables also gives participants a new view into Cranbrook House.  Filled for a brief time with contemporary and thematic design, visitors get to see what Cranbrook House looks like as a bustling house and pretend for a few short days that they live there.  Here, an exhibitor from the 1988 Holiday Tables shows off a candelabra center piece on a table in the library.
