This scene is mostly about fiddling with the materials and textures involved - trying to get the frost condensation on the decanter correct, the softness of the velvet tablecloth, the variations in the blue of the plate and the thick clear glass & the wood of the table, the brass, and anodized aluminum of the base, and the mottled texture of the walls. Rendered with global illumination.
