Brass, cast pewter and agata stone table

Hephaestus, God of Fire, metallurgy and sculpture, was the blacksmith of divine and wonderful works, with his Cyclops, high connoisseurs of the art of metalworking, created and forged works of unparalleled perfection.

Top in brass, in bas-relief on the four sections, melted pewter is cast at 235 °C. Still hot, the pewter is “smeared” and creates the effect of a thousand shades of gray, a blue agate of Brazil is set on the top like the eye of the Cyclops.
