About the Item
A distinctive and elegant Italian tea cart from the circa 1950 period, characterized by its sculptural conical form and refined material interplay. This striking design reflects the postwar Italian modernist sensibility, where functionality and expressive form are seamlessly united.
The cart is defined by four conical maple uprights that elegantly taper downward, supporting two rectangular glass tiers that create a light, floating visual effect. The warm tone of the maple contrasts beautifully with the transparency of the glass surfaces, while the steel wheels introduce an industrial note and ensure ease of movement. The conical geometry gives the piece a dynamic, architectural presence, allowing it to function as both a serving cart and a sculptural accent.
Exceptionally versatile, the cart may be used as a tea or bar cart, a mobile side table, or a display piece in both residential and hospitality interiors. Its balanced proportions and distinctive silhouette make it a standout example of Italian design from the mid-20th century.
