Use flowers that were around at the time...so no big modern florist blooms include lots of herbs and soft almost 'blown' roses honeysuckle and also add some black grapes... Use a copper or very shiny brass container and possilby stage it with a a ruff, a dagger or an old book with some calligraphy on the open pages or a piece of tapestry or embroidery in progress.. think of a tudor lady and gentleman just leaving the room and setting their things down beside the container..... Staging drapery either deep wine red or a deep green velvet or a dupion silk effect...

Thanks all for your response -I don't seem to automatically receive answers from AB any more and while having a last desperate search for inspiration only just caught up and yes it is for a competition at our local show tomorrow. Your ideas rowanwitch sound excellent I'll see what I can find
