The cart presents a beautifully streamlined profile with a softly rounded end and three graduated serving surfaces. Slender polished brass supports provide a refined contrast to the deep, lustrous ebonized walnut veneer, while the upper surface is protected by a fitted mirrored glass top. The restrained geometry and contrasting materials are characteristic of sophisticated French design of the late Art Deco period.

At the heart of the design is an ingenious rotating door that pivots to reveal a concealed bar compartment. The interior is beautifully finished in warm lemon wood, creating a dramatic contrast with the dark ebonized exterior, and incorporates fitted shelving for the storage and presentation of bottles, glassware and bar accessories. When closed, the rotating door disappears seamlessly into the cabinet's clean architectural façade.

This piece is in very nice vintage condition with only minor surface wear consistent with age and use. The photos accurately depict the condition. See less
