Description from the seller
Elegant service cart or small table with wooden side panels.
Elegant vintage service cart, made of polished solid wood, designed as a multifunctional piece of furniture for serving in the living room or dining room.
The upper surface features a structure with foldable panels, a typical technical solution of service and tea tables of the era, designed to expand or reduce the surface area as needed. The mechanism is consistent with the original construction and clearly understandable in its function.
The structure is supported by turned legs, connected by a lower shelf intended for holding bottles, books, or service objects. Particularly interesting is the presence of the large wooden side wheel with spokes, a distinctive and decorative element that recalls the service carts from Anglo-Saxon and Continental Europe of the late 19th century, complemented by original small wheels that facilitate its movement.
The shaped side handles, integrated into the structure, testify to a design attentive to both aesthetics and functionality. The wooden surface retains a warm and authentic patina, with slight signs of age consistent with its age, which do not compromise the overall readability but rather reinforce its historical character.
Ideal mobile as:
service cart or bar cart
Coffee table or tea table
Decorative element in classic, eclectic, or colonial taste interiors.
Set design for historical settings.
Authentic specimen, not a modern reproduction, intended for collectors and enthusiasts of historical furniture who appreciate antique technical solutions, elegant proportions, and original materials.
Careful and professional packaging.
Tracked and secure shipping across Europe.
