🎨 Styling
Kashmir has enough ornamentation to make the flatware part of the tablescape itself. The textured silver-tone handles look beautiful against crisp white linens, rich wood, blue and white china, floral vintage dinnerware or more dramatic jewel-toned settings.
Mix the dining pieces with the specialty forks and spoons for an elaborate vintage table, or choose only the pieces needed to expand an existing Kashmir collection.
