Mid-Century Italian Bar Cart In Burnished Steel And Brass

About the Item

Elegant Italian bar cart from the 1960s, crafted in a refined combination of burnished steel and polished brass, characteristic of the finest Italian metalwork of the period and fully consistent with post-1958 modernism. The cart features a squared, architectural frame defined by flat profiles and clean, well-balanced proportions, expressing a rigorous and understated formal language. It is fitted with two staggered clear glass shelves with mirrored edges, set within a solid metal structure; the lower shelf incorporates a practical integrated bottle holder. The handle and supporting structure are made of burnished steel with a gunmetal finish, creating a sophisticated chromatic contrast with the polished brass elements. The two-tier configuration provides ample surface area for serving or display, while the four wheels ensure excellent mobility and smooth movement. Defined by crisp lines and strict geometries, the overall design reflects the modernist vocabulary developed in Milan and Northern Italy between the late 1950s and early 1960s. The dual brass-and-steel finish and the absence of decorative elements are particularly evocative of the Milanese and Lombard school. The brass retains its original lacquered finish, while the burnished steel enhances the characteristic two-tone effect typical of the decade. The aesthetic as a whole recalls the work of refined Milanese ateliers active during the 1960s. A fine example of understated elegance and high-quality craftsmanship, ideal for use as a bar cart, serving trolley, or refined accent piece in contemporary interiors. The bar cart is in good condition. Dimensions: Height: 74 cm (29.1 in), Width: 73 cm (28.7 in), Depth: 45 cm (17.7 in)
