Mid Century Bar Cart Gilded Brass French 1950s

Stunning, vintage, mid-century, French bar cart drinks trolley with gilded brass decor, faux wood formica shelves (trays), a unique handle and fluted legs on three wheels, circa 1950’s - 1960’s. This magnificent piece is in overall, excellent original condition, as it has been impeccably cared for over the years. ~ Both the top and bottom formica trays, have a "faux" rosewood effect, with minuscule signs of age, use and traces of time on the trays, but nothing blatantly noticeable that takes away from its beauty (please see photos with a 1 centime coin for perspective.) ~ The exquisite, brass, gilded, decorative edging surrounding each tray, is reminiscent of work from other design houses like Maison Baguès, with a touch of vintage, Hollywood Regency and also remains in fantastic condition, with a patina of time and use, commensurate with age (see photos.) Both trays have a unique form that distinguish this trolley from others made around the same time period. ~ The two, smooth, fluted legs under the handle have a lovely flow from top to bottom and featured at the center between the trays, are two other tubes of brass, with an outstretched, V-shaped design, adding another touch of glamour to the piece. ~ Also below the handle on the lower tray, is a very cool design feature made of brass, in which to place bottles. ~ The two, smaller wheels on casters below the handle, are multi-directional. ~ The larger wheel at the front, has spokes with a distinctive, design, that have maintained a lovely, gold-colored finish. ~ The wheel itself, has minor signs of age and use, but remains sturdy and functional. ~ The handle has a nice, streamlined design with two balls on either edge that are very cool in contrast with the edging. ~ Piece has been gently dusted and cleaned, to maintain the original patina. DIMENSIONS: Overall Height: 66 cm Overall Width: 68 cm Overall Depth: 35 cm Width of each tray: 55 cm Depth of each tray: 55 cm A truly exquisite conversation piece, that is light, easy to maneuver and functions perfectly as intended, that will only compliment any given space, whether used in the living room, dining room, parlor or elsewhere.
