Try focal blur instead of antialiasing.

Great image and really good lighting other that the AA as has already been
mentioned the jug on the table does not look right, the cups and glass ball
seem OK but the jug does not appear to be making contact with the table,
could just be an optical illusion..

Jug - is it my eyes or is it missing a reflection? That would make it look 
like it's floating as eyes won't have a reference to say where the table 
glass starts

Yes, either the reflection is missing, or it is very faint (because of dark 
colour of jug?). If you look carefully there seems to be a very faint 
reflection...

   Great lighting! The table design is great, and I seem to remember
having seen a real table similar to this one... is it a real design?

   About to the "missing" reflection from the black (iron?) pot, I think
it's right: the black parts would not be adding anything to the surface
color... :)

> Actually I think Chris or Jaime's method is better,

   I think a mixed method would be better (as long as you don't need
automatic room building): wings3d for the room walls, floor and ceiling,
and POV-Ray macros for the windows, doors, etc..

   Forget AA for this kind of scene: use focal blur with a few samples
and then render at twice the final resolution you want, then resize down
with interpolation. I did that for my last interior test and seems to be
what obtains better results:

Personally I'd say that still has too much noise. The reflective legs on 
that chair look almost furry! But the only solution I know of is to use more 
samples, so more render time...

Ah, thanks for the compliments. Indeed the pitcher does have a reflection,
but it is very faint; I think the reflection in general is sort of
unrealistic in this image (indeed, in almost all my images-). Thanks for
the tips- I will try both AA and blur and see which works better. With the
radiosity settings it already takes so long, even with your save-load...

Thanks to everybody for the compliments. I didn't realize I had done so well
on the lighting, so that is gratifying. I guess I will continue to work on
this image (IRTC and Life permitting). Watch this space for updates with
shelves, curtains, etc...

If it's there, I can't make it out on my monitor. That's probably why the 
jug seems to hover, anyway. Over-all the scene is damn good! Better than I 
could manage
