Dimensions in cm:

Height 77 cm x Width 70 cm x Depth 45 cm

Dimensions in inches:

Height 2 foot, 6 inches x Width 2 foot, 4 inches x Depth 1 foot, 6 inches

Walnut

The Walnut woods are probably the most recognisable and popular of all the exotic woods, having been used in furniture making for many centuries. Walnut veneer was highly priced and the cost would reflect the ‘fanciness’ of the veneer – the more decorative, then the more expensive and desirable.

Art Deco or Deco,

is an influential visual arts design style which first appeared in France during the 1920s, flourished internationally during the 30s and 40s.

It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Ageimagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colours, bold geometric shapes, and lavish ornamentation.

Deco emerged from the Interwar period when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. This distinguishes Deco from the organic motifs favored by its predecessor Art Nouveau.

Historian Bevis Hillier defined Art Deco as "an assertively modern style...[that] ran to symmetry rather than asymmetry, and to the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear; it responded to the demands of the machine and of new material...[and] the requirements of mass production".

During its heyday Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Art Deco serving trolleys from this period feature geometric forms, bold circular silhouettes, and symmetrical wooden construction. They frequently incorporate polished veneers and streamlined frames designed for hosting and entertaining.

Craftsmen typically used figured wood veneers, such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, applied over solid timber frames. Functional hardware, including metal or brass castors and handles, was integrated for mobility.

Authentic period pieces display period-appropriate joinery, original metal castors, and characteristic figured veneer patterns. Inspection of the frame underside often reveals historical wear consistent with age.

A drinks trolley functions as a mobile cocktail station, side table, or surface for displaying glassware and decanters. Positioning the unit in a living room corner or dining space provides functional storage and structural interest.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to nourish the veneer. Protect surfaces from moisture rings and heat by utilizing coasters and serving trays.
