- Cesare Lacca Midcentury Italian Wood Bar Cart with Glass Serving Tray, 1950sBy Cesare LaccaLocated in Roma, ITFantastic midcentury oval bar cart in Khaya Anthotheca mahogany with brass finishes and a stunning removable tray. Cesare Lacca probably designed this marvellous piece and was designed in Italy during the 1950s. This wonderful piece comes with a removable mahogany and glass top tray, while the frame is crafted with smooth touch. It has four fantastic brass wheels, two brass handles and a pair of three-bottle holders. The design of this item makes it perfect for a midcentury style dining room or bar. The Bar Cart can be shipped disassembled, to make sure it doesn't get damaged, since the reassembly is very simple. Born in Naples in 1929, Italian architect-designer Cesare Lacca created modernist furniture and metalwork throughout the 1950s. Though details of his personal life and professional training remain lost to history, there are sufficient surviving primary sources that document his many elegant designs in brass work for which he is the best know and which fetch high prices from collectors. Like many Italian designers in the 20th century, Lacca moved to Milan after World War II to launch his career. Before he was even 21 years old, his work was selected by a group of American curators for inclusion in the landmark exhibition Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today that toured 12 US museums between 1950 and 1953, the first major exhibition of Italian design outside of Italy. The exhibition showcased the best and brightest of Italian designers who had embraced modernist principles and rejuvenated traditional Italian crafts, like Carlo Mollino, Franco Albini, and Gio Ponti In the exhibition catalogue, curator Meyric R. Roger’s spotlights Lacca's expert achievements in brass, noting “the variety and quality of his creations,” which “place him high among the architect-designers leading the current [Modernist] movement." Rogers adds, "The quality of his work...provide[s] all the decorative effectiveness needed without strain or exaggeration”. Lacca designed a great many tea carts and serving trolleys in his career, which make up a large proportion of what is available on the vintage market today, as well as magazine racks and coffee tables. Lacca’s most iconic tea cart was manufactured by Italian brand Cassina and features sculpted beech, cedar, teak, or walnut with brass details, a glass tabletop, and a removable glass tray. Lacca also designed high-backed lounge chairs, which were regularly featured in Arredoluce advertisements for Angelo Lelli’s lighting...Category
