A new addition to the textured collection of patterns, Arden Sandstone flatware features a unique stippled effect which adds tactility to the handles. Arden Sandstone is a slender pattern and has a comfortable, soft feel in the hand. Inspired by the way stone weathers and changes over time, the surface of the flatware appears eroded and granular but is smooth to the touch.

Drawing on traditional silversmithing techniques, the subtle texture is applied as a gradual marbled finish which fades into the neck of each piece. The textured surface reflects the light with a gentle glow, creating a statement on the table alongside both formal and casual tableware. Spoons and forks are made using the highest quality 18/10 stainless steel. Knife blades are made from specially hardened stainless steel to provide the finest possible cutting edge.
