About the Item
Step into the past with this utterly charming, straight-from-the-1950s Italian bar cart. Black wrought iron, aged to perfection with a rich patina that tells tales of countless parties and unforgettable nights. There's a bit of chipping here and there, like laugh lines on a cherished friend's face—each mark a testament to decades of love and use.
But let's get to the pièce de résistance: the hand-glazed ceramic tile inlays. These aren’t just tiles, darling, they're miniature masterpieces. Picture this: a vibrant red circle at the center, looking like it's been cinched at the waist, splitting into two perfect ovals. It’s like an atom in the throes of fission, or a zygote joyfully dividing into twin souls. Or maybe, if you're feeling nautical, like a clam caught mid-laugh. Surrounding this eye-catching red are flecks of black, making the red pop with the intensity of a thousand sunsets. Each oval is framed by a crisp white, which is then enveloped in an inky black, creating a dramatic, almost cosmic effect. There's even a hairline crack in one tile, a whisper of a flaw that adds to the cart's character and charm.
The cart itself is a dance of elegance and utility, with a patterned iron decoration that echoes the classic Greek key style motif, adding a touch of ancient wisdom to this mid-century marvel. And let’s not forget the wheels, original brass hardware kissed by time, now boasting a heavy patina and oxidation that only adds to their allure. They still roll with grace, ready to ferry your finest spirits and glassware to the waiting guests.
In short, this bar cart isn’t just a piece of furniture. It’s a story, a piece of history, and a guaranteed conversation starter. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a lively bash, this cart is ready to roll through the decades with you, one unforgettable night at a time. Cheers to that!

By i4 Mariani, Guido Faleschini
Located in Culver City, CA
This pair of cabinet / drybar pair are absolutely stunning! Designed by Guido Faleschini for Mariani in the late 60's, the front of these cabinets is wrapped in a chocolate leather, with chrome drawer and door pulls, with shiny chrome accents; while the sides and the finished backs of the cabinets are wrapped in a slightly lighter chocolate suede (actual leather and suede). The icing on the cake are the marble tops, almost onyx looking, a cream and yellow, heavily veined marble with bullnose finish.
These cabinets absolutely ooze Italian mid century modern luxury down to every detail. These cabinets can be placed together to create a wonderful dry bar area that feature an abundance of storage for your every need.
