Handpainted tiles adorn the tabletop with pink and yellow flowers, and the glorious ironwork is a fantastic example of Antti's unparalleled craftsmanship. The gallery sides are elegantly designed with loop-de-loops, and he manipulated the iron into a twisted rope-like form that is absolutely fabulous. Beautiful patina, one cracked tile simply adds to its charm. Truly historic work of functional art.
