The metal legs are slim and made from black painted iron, giving the cart an industrial yet refined look. The top of the cart is rectangular and features a wooden surface with a smooth finish. The wood adds warmth and contrast to the cooler tones of the metal frame. There is an additional lower shelf for storage. This shelf consists of evenly spaced wooden slats, matching the wood of the top surface. The slatted design provides also a glass part. The sides of the cart have diagonal metal braces that offer structural support. These braces are positioned at an angle, creating a visual dynamic and emphasizing the modern aesthetic. The cart features small wheels or casters for easy mobility. This cart exemplifies the clean lines, functional form, and use of mixed materials (wood and metal) that are hallmarks of Mid-Century Modern design. The combination of industrial metal with warm wood elements speaks to its Italian craftsmanship and design sensibilities from the 1960s. The cart is in original condition with normal signs of use and age, brass parts are in original patina. See less
