French brass bar cart, France, 1960s

Description

French brass bar cart, France, 1960s
Elegant vintage bar cart on casters, made of brass and fitted with two mirrored glass panels. The piece was designed in the distinctive Mid-Century/Hollywood Regency style, with clear influences of Classicism and the design associated with Maison Jansen. The cart
features an impressive decorative openwork gallery around both tiers, ornamental turned and fluted posts, and spherical finials.
The four legs are fitted with swivel casters, making the cart practical and easy to move.

The design is exceptionally decorative while also functional — the cart can serve as a bar, side table, buffet, or display table. It looks equally at home in both classic and contemporary interiors.

Date:
France, c. 1960–1965
Stylistically, the cart belongs to the Mid-Century/Hollywood Regency tradition, inspired by French decorative design.
Condition: Vintage condition, consistent with its age and use. The brass frame shows natural signs of ageing, minor scuffs, and patina that enhance the item’s authentic character.
The glass panels have visible minor chips and nicks along the edges – these are clearly visible in the photographs. Otherwise, the cart presents very well.
