Universelle Paris folding wooden mid-century modern service cart with large wheels, made in France, in good used condition with minor signs of aging, model Ruedas grandes, dimensions 67 cm wide by 61 cm high by 41 cm deep, can be locked.
Description from the seller
This exceptional folding service cart, designed and manufactured by Universelle Paris during the mid-20th century, perfectly embodies the union of functionality, elegance, and innovative spirit that characterized postwar French design. Conceived as a practical piece for everyday use, its refined aesthetics and the quality of its materials confer today an undeniable decorative and collectible value.
The structure combines warm wood surfaces with a rich natural grain and a light chromed metal frame, creating an attractive contrast between artisanal tradition and modern industrialization. Its two wide trays offer a generous working surface, while the ingenious folding mechanism allows reducing its volume with ease, a solution especially appreciated in contemporary interiors of the era, where versatility and efficient use of space gained increasing importance.
The large wheels not only facilitate smooth and stable movement, but also constitute one of the most distinctive features of its design, lending a light, dynamic appearance that emphasizes its functional character. The straight lines and constructive honesty of the piece reflect the principles of mid-century modern design, where every element serves a practical need without sacrificing formal elegance.
Thanks to its balanced combination of wood, metal, and smart mechanical solutions, this auxiliary cart transcends its original function to become a decorative piece with great personality. Ideal as a bar cart, mobile side table, or supporting element in living rooms, offices, or Mid-Century Modern-inspired spaces, it represents a magnificent example of mid-20th-century French utilitarian design, signed by the prestigious house Universelle Paris, whose production stood out for the quality of its finishes and the sophistication of its functional offerings.
Certified shipping and careful packaging.
