Following a centuries-old blacksmith’s tradition, this timeless Antique Finish Garden Coffee Table Set recalls design elements from the past. The coffee tabletop is slatted (both attractive and practical, allowing rainwater to drain away). Towards each end, the legs curve towards a strengthening circle of steel, ending in scrolled feet.

Matching the table, the arms of the chairs and the two-seater bench comprise broadly sweeping curves, ending again in scrolls, which echo the scrolled detail of the feet and the rolled top backs. The bench and chair frames are robustly built, the legs additionally braced with double curves of metal.

In terms of comfort, however, the bench and chairs (seating four) are contemporary. The seats and backs are ergonomically designed to be comfortable, built from strips of ideally sized steel to give maximum support and allow the correct degree of 'give'.

Hot-dipped in molten zinc to deter corrosion, the nature of the patination ensures the surface will improve with age and the vagaries of the British climate, weathering to a handsome, silvery grey. As a result, this attractive set will enhance, rather than dominate the natural beauty of your garden and can, quite justifiably, be regarded as an heirloom since it is guaranteed for a quarter of a century.
