-
Description
Orsenigo drinks or bar cart in gold-plated gilt with glass tops this vintage bar cart has a pared down neoclassical design. The Lucite columns are reminiscent of the earlier Art Deco period. Structurally there are two levels, a top and lower shelf, both of circular shape. The original clear glass tops fit into a gold plated circular frame. The glass appears to be suspended when in fact it rests on four discreet gilt plates, each with a clear rubber stopper. There is a curved handle also in gilt finished at each end with a golden sphere. The top and lower shelves are connected by six clear Lucite column legs. These are grouped in pairs for an architectural design. Each column has a gilt band at the top and bottom like a neoclassical column. On the lower shelf ,there is a gilt frame to hold bottles. Three castor wheels allow the cart to be moved from place to place. This vintage drinks trolley is in very good condition, sound and strong. The original gilt finish is present on the surface and in very good condition, with minor rubbing in line with age. The two original vintage glass surfaces are in very good condition with no chips or cracks. All the original clear rubber stoppers are present supporting the glass surfaces. The three wheels are original and in very good condition.
