Crafted in florence, italy, the exterior features a heavy silver-plated cast metal with a rich, authentic patina that lends a stunning brutalist textural quality to any bar cart or modernist interior. Crucially for collectors, this piece retains its original brushed aluminium internal insulation liner, which remains in excellent, clean condition. Manetti's botanical & zoological bar accessories - most notably his pineapples, pomegranates and apples - are highly coveted milestones of 20th century italian decorative arts. Stamped on the underside base with the official foundry marks: "fond. D'arte firenze / made in italy / mod. Ris" this piece has an attribution mark,
