Pitarch - Meuble d'appui - Wood, Crystal, Iron - Salesman sample

Raro Mueble Bar / Salesman Sample Pitarch Barcelona – Don Quijote Mid-Century (c. 1960)
Spectacular and exceptionally rare vintage piece signed by the emblematic Spanish brand Pitarch (Barcelona), a pioneer in the design of auxiliary and industrial furniture during the second half of the 20th century.
Exclusivity and Rare Collectible Piece (Salesman Sample / Exhibition Prototype):
Unlike standard home-size bar furniture, this piece has extraordinarily small and compact dimensions (47 x 40 x 20 cm). It meticulously preserves the exact scale, functional wheels, brass compass, and lighting system. Because of these singular proportions, all signs point to it being an original salesman sample or a functional exhibition model for the firm for showcases and fairs. An authentic jewel of Spanish industrial design, extremely hard to find and with very high collectible value.
Design Details:
Themed Engraved Mirror: Background in mirrored glass decorated with a detailed illustration of Don Quijote and Sancho Panza, framed with period geometric friezes. Includes the authentic Pitarch seal/brand screen-printed on the glass itself.
Integrated Lighting System: Functional ambient light that highlights the mirror scene when the furniture is opened, creating a cozy atmosphere. Retains both the original wiring and the period bulb.
Structure and Materials: Front fold-down lid with an articulated brass metal compass (ideal as a preparation tray), upper body with compartments/drawers finished in wood imitation and a robust lower black metal frame with period caster wheels.
