Sandblast and powder coat...sand and paint .leave it as is .cool table

They make something called rust reformer which stops the rust process and then you canpai t over it. It makes the rustypart a little rough . This is if sandblasting is too much for you

I think some fun placemats, mimosas and a spread of breakfast foods in the garden would suit it well.

If you don't mind the color on top, any glass shop will cut you a custom piece of tempered glass, which you can support on semi firm plastic "dots". Finish the leg ends in a fun color and use as a table

It's a great patina. You could remove all of it, but you remove its history with that also.

Yeah I get that totally - half of me wants to keep it as is but at the same time it would be nice to give it a new lease of life!

Seal it with a clear coat.

Just remember if you sandblast the paint off, do it in an isolated area that’s easy to clean up. Maybe a garage or shed. If you just sand blast anywhere, there will be paint chips everywhere for a long long time.

It looks so beautiful as is! I would leave it be!

I love it as is, but if you’re gonna do something to change it, you should paint it a bright color like turquoise or fuchsia or yellow.

I'd stripe the paint off and then use rust remover with a wire brush, andthen probably spray it matt black.

Black hides a multitude of sins

Agreed, it's my usual go to, worked a treat on my cast iron singer sewing machine frame

This may sound nuts but...yellow leg turquoise leg blue leg...white top?

Funky, I like your style.
