About the Item

A rare and character-rich find from early 20th-century Paris, this oak hand truck is a superb example of utilitarian craftsmanship elevated to art. Reinforced with original blackened metal brackets and fitted with solid iron wheels, it carries the patina and presence of a bygone industrial era. Whether standing upright as a sculptural towel or magazine rack, or laid flat to serve as a low-profile coffee table, this piece invites conversation and curiosity. Its raw elegance and historical soul make it a perfect accent for eclectic interiors, loft spaces, or anyone drawn to the unexpected. A true oddity with Parisian provenance—functional, fascinating, and one-of-a-kind.
