Authentic mid-century industrial medical utility cart, originally used in a hospital or laboratory setting. This piece features three fixed steel tray shelves, original rolling casters, and a rare built-in electrical outlet, a detail highly sought after by collectors and designers.
Constructed entirely of enameled steel, this cart was built for institutional use and durability—not residential retail—which explains the absence of a maker’s mark. Many medical and laboratory carts from this era were produced unbranded for hospitals and universities.
Today, it functions beautifully as a plant stand, bar cart, studio organizer, kitchen storage cart, or bedside table, blending industrial character with practical use.
