Plademenage (fr. plat-de-ménage — tray, pallet, from plat — dish and ménage — household) is a silverware, more often made of silver, characteristic of the court art of France of the XVIII century. It is a large pallet on which a vase for fruits or sweets is installed, as well as aroma bowls, salt shakers, crystal containers for spices, candlesticks. The whole composition is decorated with sculptures, reliefs, miniature canopies and other quirks. The tabletop as a table decoration was an indispensable part of large ceremonial sets, in some cases performing the function of the central element of the composition of the table — the surtout de table ("middle of the table").
