This elegant oval serving trolley showcases the highly decorative French design associated with Maison Baguès, featuring a beautifully crafted brass framework, two tiers of clear glass, slender brass supports, decorative gallery rails, and distinctive domed finial details. The cart is raised on two large decorative spoked wheels and two smaller casters, with an elegant curved brass handle for easy serving and mobility.

The combination of polished brass, clear glass, elaborate finials, and finely detailed wheel construction gives the piece a sophisticated French Hollywood Regency / Neoclassical character.
