While my normal view of the coffee table is, admittedly, from beneath it, I've recently been looking at it from another angle, specifically the gap between the two rails. An idea formed that if I could perch a display tray there it could be seen from above through the smoked glass top, so I got the local village idiot carpenter involved.
He ripped up an old floorboard then ripped it down again (whatever that means) to make the tray, then I robbed Her Ladyship's Little Red Riding Hood cozzie (strictly for weekends, dontcha know) and cut a square out of it for the base.
I've always wanted something purely for Roman finds and now I have one.
Pip pip
