Eclecticism

Genuine Victorian era cast iron lace sits happily beside Javanese "antiqued" carving in happy juxtaposition. The lace, no doubt scrounged from a building more ancient than any on the Sunshine Coast, is the face of a counter in a coffee shop.  

It's a covering of some genius I think.   Look closely, between the crazed paint and rusting panels, you'll see coffee spills streaking down the backing, taking the shiny newness off the plastic, making it look as though it's been there for ever.

I'm not sure what the Health Department think, but I don't care.

Maroochydore.
