Cast iron. Made by Näfveqvarn in Sweden.

Cast iron is a living material and each piece is unique. Properly maintained, a cast iron piece lasts for generations, and the patina it takes on over time is part of its value. Näfveqvarn finishes its pieces with alcohol based paint to withstand moisture and water; how long the paint protects depends on weather and exposure. To refresh a piece, brush it with a wire brush and apply a new coat of paint.

Made to order at Näfveqvarn in Sweden. Lead time eight to ten weeks.
