About the Item
A stunning and rare Italian bar cart attributed to Cesare Lacca, one of the most celebrated designers of the mid-20th century. Crafted around 1950, this elegant serving trolley exemplifies the refined sophistication and innovative craftsmanship of the Italian mid-century modern movement.
The frame is beautifully constructed from ebonized wood, offering a rich, dark finish that contrasts strikingly with the lightness of the two-tier glass shelving. The architectural lines of the structure give it a dynamic sense of movement, while the angled supports and finely crafted joints speak to the artisan quality of the piece.
The upper shelf features integrated cut-outs designed to securely hold bottles—an element that showcases both functional intent and clever design. The lower shelf provides ample surface space for serving or storage. Together, the glass and wood elements create a harmonious visual balance that is both airy and sculptural.
One of the cart’s most distinctive features is its set of large rear wheels with brass accents and delicate spoked details, evoking a subtle Art Deco influence. These are paired with smaller brass caster wheels at the front for ease of movement and elegant stability. The combination of materials—ebonized wood, clear glass, and warm brass—results in a luxurious yet understated aesthetic.
Perfect for entertaining, this bar cart is not only a practical piece for serving cocktails and refreshments, but also a statement object that enhances the sophistication of any interior, from classic to contemporary.
This rare and elegant piece is a prime example of Italian mid-century design and would make a remarkable addition to any curated collection or stylish living space.
