Pass something around the table on a piece worked this fine and the serving itself becomes part of the welcome. A sixteen-inch brass leaf, its whole body cut into lacework — here silver-plated, for when a room calls for silver over gold.

Like its brass twin, it's cut by hand in Lahore, the leaf worked into fine open patternwork, then silver-plated to a cool shine. Serve from it, style with it, or stand it up for the cutwork alone.

The same lacework, in a cooler light.
