Brimming with Hollywood Regency and Chinoiserie charm, this versatile bar and buffet cart features striking faux bamboo molding, subtle geometric fretwork accents, and its original, authentic bamboo-style pulls.

It boasts original rolling casters for effortless mobility, a double-door lower cabinet featuring delicately painted botanical illustrations, and two spacious top drawers. The left drawer still retains its original, vibrant green felt-lined silverware dividers in excellent vintage condition. The two drop-leaf sides flip up smoothly to drastically extend your serving surface, making it the perfect mobile dry bar, dining buffet, or media console.

Restoration Potential:
While highly functional and charming in its current state, this piece serves as the ultimate blank canvas for a custom lacquer project. It is an excellent candidate to be professionally sprayed in a high-gloss, vibrant color (such as kelly green, navy, or bright coral) to contrast beautifully against the original green felted interior and create a high-end statement piece. See last photo in magenta as an example.

Condition Notes: This piece is in sturdy, structurally sound vintage condition. It retains its original brass hardware and castors which have aged-patina to grey. The original green felted drawer lining is clean and intact. There is cosmetic finish wear consistent with age, including a scratch on the main top surface, fine surface checking/crazing to the finish on the left flip-up drop leaf, and wear on the legs. Notably, there is flaking finish loss and wear along the wood edges where the main top meets the drop-leaf hinge seam (wood veneer is intact). Original rolling casters and hinges work smoothly. Perfect candidate for professional lacquer or refinishing.
