  • I love it. So rare to see aluminium and copper. Great ethnography piece.Do you know whether its old or not?Looks very clean..........

  • I like aluminium pieces,  especially when inlayed with copper. This piece has a wonderful rustic charm. The indie looks quite worn to me...

  • Looks quite heavy as well.

  • Actually it is not as heavy as one would expect. As to its age I would say mid-XXth century or somewhat later.
