The entire set is yours for £825. You can also buy the table and chairs separately.

Alexander Girard plate set
This striking Alexander Girard plate set is far too good to be used for everyday.
It features motifs designed by Girard in 1956 for Georg Jensen when he was asked to produce seven table settings. Just four of the motifs are used in this set, which is produced by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, all instantly recognisable as his style – the pinwheel, patera, garland and hexagon. So stylish, in fact, that I suspect you'd want to use the set for display rather than eating off.
The set costs £38.50.
