Its finely worked painted wood frame is enhanced by delicate floral and instrument marquetry, a subtle homage to the decorative tradition of the Italian Renaissance.
The discreet and ingenious side leaves allow the serving surface to be expanded as needed, while preserving the harmony of the design.
The spoked rear wheels and gilt metal front casters, combined with a turned wood handle also adorned with gilt metal, facilitate its movement while maintaining its noble appearance.
It bears the stamp "Miss Bellevue, Meta di Sorrento, Made in Italy," a testament to its Neapolitan origin and regional craftsmanship. Both functional and decorative, this trolley is distinguished by the finesse of its execution and its timeless charm.
