{"product_id":"aluva-glass-side-table-antique-brass","title":"Aluva Glass Side Table - Antique Brass","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Aluva is a round side table, 51cm tall and 38cm across. The frame is solid iron in an antique brass finish, drawn in slim round rod: four straight legs, very slightly splayed, carried on a circular top rail and braced low down by a cross stretcher. The glass top is a separate slab that slots onto the frame. It is thick enough to show its edge, dark, and clouded through with a wave-like pattern and the occasional air bubble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 51cm it stands at about the height of a chair arm. It goes beside a sofa. The top is 38cm across, so it holds a lamp, or a cup and a book, rather than both at once. The frame is open rod rather than a solid pedestal, so it reads light in a corner despite weighing 8.74kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is forged iron with an antique brass finish over it, and the top is cast glass. The glass is sand cast: the shape is carved into sand, molten glass is poured in, and once it has cooled the sand is taken away. That is what leaves the surface smooth while the body stays waved and occasionally bubbled, so no two tops are alike. The technique goes back to the 15th century. There is a matching Aluva coffee table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass \u0026amp; Iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntique Brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.74kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat height is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e51cm tall, with a top 38cm across.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the top fixed to the frame?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The glass top is separate and slots onto the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the base made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolid iron, with an antique brass finish over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the glass look different from piece to piece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is sand cast, so the surface comes out smooth but the body carries a wave-like pattern and the occasional air bubble.
