Imbibe in style with this fabulously stylish faux bamboo Regency-style chrome two-tier drinks trolley or bar cart. This beauty offers both visual and textural interest, can you say “oh là là, c’est trop beau”! Handcrafted in Italy sometime in the 1960s to early 1970s, everything is original from the caster wheels with stainless steel housing (which glide smoothly), to the two removable 4mm glass shelves. Measurements are as follows:

Frame: 23” x 16¾” x 24½” W/D/H
Removable glass shelves: 20¾” x 14¾” W/D; 4mm thickness, apiece
Weight: Approximately 15 lbs. including removable glass shelves
Materials: Chrome-plated metal frame; rubber caster wheels with stainless steel housing; 4mm thickness glass shelves

In excellent condition with age-appropriate wear which includes nicks to a couple of the glass shelves corners which are not highly discernible because the corners rest on corner platform tabs (see photos 7, 8 & 16). In addition, there are several indiscernible scratches and spots on the glass shelves which are difficult to see unless looked at under specific lighting at a particular angle. I attempted to capture these but again, it is difficult to see. There is minimal oxidation to the chrome finish evident, some on the underside and a smattering on the upper frame (see photos 10, 11 & 12). None of these cosmetic “bumps and bruises” of life affect the utility or beauty of the bar cart, as you can see from the photos.

There is no makers name but each corner rest tab has the "Made in Italy" insignia on the underside. Note, the cocktail glasses, ice bucket, ice tongs and tray are not included. These items are being used as props but are available for purchase in my shop individually.

If you’re looking for inimitable design and sophistication for entertaining, this chic beauty will fill that need perfectly.
