Hi,
I recently bought this desert/beverage trolley on auction. I love it! I’ve seen a few online and I was wondering if any knew its maker?
From what I’ve gathered, it’s French, around 1950’s. Some describe it as brass, others as bronze.
Does anyone have any additional information?
Much Appreciated!
This is in French Style of a Tea/Patisserie Cart and some even refer to them as a Trolley. Establishments in Europe would use this style because so many have patios or “open air” dining and this style would protect the pastries and sandwiches from the outside elements. You can find this style more often in beautifully carved Mahagony with Brass from the late 1800’s to mid 1900’s.
You can even see this style used today in France in a Brasserie, Cafe or “Salons de thé” that specializes in drinks and pastries.
