Mahogany Modernist Bar Trolley - Attributed to C. Lacquer - Italy - 1950s
About the Item
Elegant bar cart in Italian modernist style, made in the 1950s, attributed to designer Cesare Lacca. The frame, carved from solid mahogany, features a refined "Z" profile that lends lightness and movement to the form. The two clear glass shelves emphasize the balance between solids and voids, allowing a fluid reading of the structural design.
Metallic details-including the curved brass handle and original wheels with gold rims-adds a precious and functional touch. This object exemplifies the functional elegance of postwar Italian design, capable of blending aesthetics, craftsmanship and rationalism.
Perfect as a bar cart for sophisticated residential settings, but also as a scenic addition in boutique hotels, galleries or high-profile showrooms.
Cesare Lacca (active mainly between the 1940s and 1960s) was an Italian designer known for his contribution to postwar modernist design. He operated in the vibrant Milanese design scene and collaborated with numerous Italian manufacturers, helping to define a refined and functional aesthetic that is still prized today in the international vintage market.
Lacquer is best remembered for his bar carts, side tables, and accessories made of solid wood (mahogany or rosewood), glass, and brass, often featuring light and dynamic structures, elegant curves, and an impeccable balance between form and function. His works were also exhibited at the Milan Triennale and are now coveted by collectors and interior designers around the world.
Note on attribution:
The design of this trolley can be traced back to the production of Cesare Lacca, known for his noble wood and brass creations with glass tops, which have become icons of Italian modernism. Although unsigned, the work has all the stylistic and constructive elements typical of his work.
