The piece features two tiers separated by an open onyx shelf and is finished on all sides.
The upper shelf and lower cabinet are adorned with onyx panels in soft tones of cream, peach, green, and amber, creating an organic, almost cloudlike pattern. The translucent quality of the stone allows light to pass through while maintaining privacy for stored items. Each storage compartment is fitted with understated brass hardware that complements the overall aesthetic.

Standing on four casters beneath decorative brass feet, this cart maintains its original mobility—perfect for use as a bar cart, bedside table, or storage in a bathroom or dressing area. The middle tier provides an ideal display surface for decorative objects or practical items.

The piece exhibits honest wear consistent with age and use, including surface oxidation and patination to the brass that only enhances its vintage character. The marble panels remain intact, contributing to its authenticity and charm. See less
