I think they're a bit overdressed. Almost nobody, except maybe the richest people, dressed like that in colonial America. That table looks more like it's in Versailles than anywhere in America.
That table seems unusually narrow for people of such extreme wealth and taste. The turkey is almost as wide as the table. There's no room for plates to serve? Versailles, indeed.
