Broyhill Carts and Bar Carts
American
Founded during the 1920s, the Broyhill Furniture Company was one of the stalwart North Carolina makers of mid-priced, traditional wooden furnishings, and it served American families well. The Colonial Revival style — chairs with turned legs, beds with split pediment headboards — had always been the company’s stock in trade. But the vintage Broyhill bedroom furniture, dressers and cabinets of the postwar era are quite popular with today’s fans of mid-century modern design — particularly those who enjoy more flamboyant stylings, such as those of Adrian Pearsall.
For collectors of a certain type, Broyhill is most admired for its brief foray into the contemporary furnishings of the late 1950s and ‘60s. In 1957, responding to changing tastes, the firm launched its Broyhill Premier line with the Sculptra series.
Sculptra pieces featured decorative molding with a square-within-a-square motif and horizontal cat’s eye-shaped drawer pulls. Five years later, Broyhill introduced the Brasilia furniture group, inspired by the Oscar Niemeyer architecture for the brand-new Brazilian capital. The collection made its debut at the Seattle World’s Fair.
The cabinet door fronts of vintage Broyhill Brasilia pieces feature moldings based on the sweeping colonnades and parabolic curves of such buildings as the Palácio da Alvorada (“Palace of the Dawn”), the presidential residence. As you will see on 1stDibs, Broyhill created a striking and spirited line of furnishings that will make a happy keynote in any Atomic Age-inspired interior.
Ohio retailer Big Lots acquired the rights to the Broyhill name and related trademarks in 2019.

Mid Century Broyhill Brasilia Drop Leaf Tile Top Bar Cart Console Table
By Oscar Niemeyer, Broyhill
Located in Baltimore, MD
Absolutely beautiful and functional Mid-Century Modern drop leaf tile top bar cart console table circa 1960s, from the Brasilia Premier collection by Broyhill Furniture. This absolute jewel remains in nearly pristine condition. The Brasilia line is a collection that was first presented at the world’s fair in Seattle in 1962, as a tribute to the design of Brazilian famed architect Oscar Niemeyer. One of the most celebrated and highly collectible lines on the American atomic era of design. The cabinets’ signature arches and brass sculpted pulls are molded after buildings designed by Niemeyer for Brazil’s capital city. This drop-leaf bar cabinet/ cart features richly grained walnut, with a fully finished back. The finished back side makes this cart ideal for placement in an open floor plan, making it a great focal point. The walnut top with inset, original cobalt blue and white ceramic glazed tiles with white birds offers multiple expansion possibilities with two side / drop-leaves. Keep the leaves down and conserve valuable space or raise them on hinged extension to function as a serving cart. Each wing of the cart can be easily flipped up to provide an extra 11 inches on each side – up to 70 inches long total. When closed completely, it is reduced to a mere 48 inches, side console table, raised over brass casters allowing the cart to be tucked away if needed. This versatile console table offers plenty of storage options with three spacious drawers; one includes a felt lined interior with dividers for tidy storage of personal effects.
