Italian conical tea trolley, circa 1950

An elegant Italian tea trolley from the 1950s, featuring a sculptural conical design and a refined interplay of materials. This remarkable piece reflects the Italian modernist sensibility of the post-war era, where functionality and expressiveness harmoniously unite. The trolley consists of four conical maple legs that gracefully taper, supporting two rectangular glass trays that create a visual effect of lightness and floating. The warm hue of the maple beautifully contrasts with the transparency of the glass, while the steel wheels add an industrial touch and ensure great manoeuvrability. The conical geometry gives it a dynamic and architectural presence, allowing it to serve both as a serving trolley and a sculptural decorative element. Exceptionally versatile, this trolley can be used as a tea or bar cart, a mobile side table, or as a decorative object in residential and hotel interiors. Its balanced proportions and distinctive silhouette make it a remarkable example of mid-20th-century Italian design. Dimensions: Height 57 cm, Width 60 cm, Depth 46 cm.
