Proving that rusticity has its charms, the Thatcher Drinks Table has a na?ve wrought iron base that has been forged with bark-like striations along its upright rods. A matching circular brace supports the aluminum top into which a patchwork of lines has been etched to make it feel as if it holds a thatched roof. The interplay of black and antique gold finishes enlivens this nod to one of our earliest building materials.
