A beautifully crafted mid-century modern expandable bar cart, attributed to John Keal for Brown Saltman, circa 1950s. This piece exemplifies the clean architectural lines and thoughtful functionality associated with California modern design of the period—a rare and functional example.
Constructed from maple wood, the cart retains its original finish, showcasing a warm natural tone with an authentic patina that reflects its age. The wood remains clean and well-preserved, with character consistent with vintage use but no major imperfections.
The design features a clever expanding top that smoothly opens to nearly double its surface area, making it both practical and visually striking. The mechanism functions smoothly, and the piece rests on original casters for easy mobility.
A versatile and highly collectible piece, ideal as a bar cart, serving cart, or occasional table.
