A gorgeous Italian burlwood marquetry bar/tea cart by master Italian artisans, Sorrento, during the 1950s-1960s. Sorrento specializes in handcrafted, heirloom-quality traditional Italian inlaid wood art furniture. It features intricate, hand-cut wood veneers forming a intricate scrolling floral motif. The richly figured wood veneers adorn the lift-top surface, apron and lower shelf. Italian hardwoods like walnut, rosewood and maple are used for vibrant, natural color variations.
This vintage cart is 16" wide unextended and is a 30" diameter when the hinged leaves are raised into place. Its two tier design displays marquetry craftsmanship using various woods. The lower level includes six "holders" for wine, bottles or other items so that all you need to entertain can be available at your fingertips. Its large front wheels provide a smooth ride for serving. As the photos indicate it is very versatile as it can be used for poolside drinks or snacks, formal after dinner drinks or afternoon tea.
The ornately crated brass handle and rail add beauty as well as functionality.... comfortable handle to move the cart around and brass rails on the upper level to protect items from falling during movement. Its 16" width also makes it easily storable to disappear when not in use. It has large brass-rimmed wheels and casters for mobility as well as a lower display/storage shelf with matching marquetry
Richly figured veneer construction. Circa 20th century. Surprisingly easy to move even with its substantial wood and brass construction.
This piece allows you to own a piece of art as well as a functional piece of furniture.
Round when hinged side leaves in place- 30" Without side leaves- rectangular 30" including handle; Height-30" to top of handle; Distance between lower and upper level-19".
