Description from the seller
This folding service cart was produced around the 1960s-1970s, during the Mid-Century Modern design period. The combination of chrome-plated metal and wood-finish effect plastic trays perfectly embodies the functional and modern aesthetics of that era.
Folding service carts like this were very popular in post-war homes, used as bar carts, tea- or simply as versatile furniture pieces. Today these items are sought after by vintage and Mid-Century furniture collectors for their practicality and timeless design, particularly appreciated by those looking to furnish with authentic pieces from this historical period.
Dimensions: Height 105 cm • Width 46 cm • Depth 80 cm
The design is typical of the 1970s, characterized by clean lines, lightweight materials and practical functionality. The distinctive X-shaped structure provides stability and allows the shelves to be tilted or set up in a serving arrangement.
The cart is equipped with swivelling wheels, which ease its movement, making it perfect as a kitchen support, bar trolley, tea cart or aperitif cart. The trays are removable, easy to clean and feature raised edges to prevent accidental items from sliding off.
An ideal item for modern, retro, mid-century or eclectic interiors, either as a functional element or as a decorative piece.
