Serving trolley - Wood, Metal

A refined and elegant example of an Italian service bar cart, dating from the 1950s, a golden era for Mid-Century Modern interior design.

The sleek design and sinuous lines clearly evoke the handiwork and style of the great Italian designers of curved wood of the era, such as Cesare Lacca, or the productions of high artisanal craftsmanship.

The cart features two levels:

Two wide rectangular surface shelves with slightly raised edges, ideal for transporting and presenting bottles, crystal, and cocktail sets.

An integrated side rack for magazines/bottles, characterized by a splendid grid of steam-bent wood slats, an uncommon feature that also serves as a striking sculptural handle.

The supports and curved handles terminate in a dynamic "eagle-beak" or spiral motif, a detail of exquisite retro elegance.

The four swivel wheels are original to the period, made of gilt metal/brass and rubber, perfectly integrated into the structure and functional, but not in good condition with rust and later repainting. They require cleaning and/or restoration.

This is a versatile, functional, and sophisticated piece of furniture, perfect for adding an authentic 1950s vintage style to living rooms, studies, or modern bar corners.
