About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Italian Wood and Brass Bar Cart with Magazine Rack, Attributed to Cesare Lacca, 1950s An elegant and sculptural tea or serving trolley, attributed to the design school of Cesare Lacca, crafted in Italy during the 1950s. This refined piece exemplifies the organic curves and lightness of form typical of Mid-Century Modern Italian design, blending aesthetics and functionality with grace. The frame is made of finely shaped bentwood, recently hand-polished with a traditional shellac French polish to enhance the natural luster of the wood. It features two clear beveled glass shelves: The upper shelf is elegantly recessed within a softly contoured wooden border The lower shelf is angled and multifunctional, doubling as a magazine or book rack, adding both visual dynamism and practical storage The cart stands on four tapered legs ending in original brass casters, which ensure mobility while preserving its sophisticated character. Brass accents on the side handles and wheels contribute a refined, luminous contrast to the dark wood. Perfect as a bar cart, drink trolley, tea table, or magazine stand, this piece effortlessly enhances both vintage-inspired and contemporary interiors, thanks to its sculptural form and exceptional craftsmanship. Dimensions: Height: 58 cm (22.84 in) Width: 51 cm (20.08 in) Depth: 41 cm (16.15 in) Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The wood has been professionally refinished with shellac polish to revive its original warmth and shine, with only minor signs of age consistent with careful use. A rare and versatile collector's item that captures the essence of Italian modernism.
