Description
Vintage drinks trolley bar cart in chrome, gold plated gilt metal frame & glass tops by Renato Zevi, 1970`s ca, Italian.
This vintage trolley has been gently cleaned while respecting the aged patina. It is ready to use.
The simplicity of this design is enhanced by the highly polished chrome frame with gold plated metal trim. The contrast between the highly polished chrome against the satin finished gold toned metal creates depth and interesting reflections. The clear glass shelves are practical but keeps the design `clean` & minimalist.
This vintage two tier trolley was purchased from the first owner who originally bought it from Harrods in the 1970`s. It would bring the party to a range of interiors including Art Deco, 1950`s Atomica, Hollywood Regency, 70`s Glamour, Brutalist and Contemporary.
The rectangular frame is stable and has a good weight. It consists of polished chrome plated steel with square profile. The four vertical columns are finished at the top corners with the typical Zevi square detail.
The frame is enhanced with a gilt metal trim in a satin finish of similar but smaller proportions. The comparable proportions subtly enhances the simple design. This is also achieved from the contrasting polished tone next to satin finish further.
There is a removable bottom shelf and a removable top surface, both of toughened quality 6 mm clear glass & polished edge, original vintage to the piece. The clear glass keeps the appearance `light` & `airy`. The glass tops rest flush inside the frame contributing to the minimalist design.
Looking at the bottom there are four casters of metallic polished chrome, original vintage to the piece. These roll smoothly.
This trolley is in good vintage condition. The frame is sturdy with no missing parts. There is some age patina, light rubbing in places & superficial marks to the chrome and gilt finishes, commensurate with age. There is light superficial pitting to the chrome in a few places most notably the underside which has been treated. The glass tops are in good condition with no chips or cracks, only superficial scratches & rubbing in line with use.
Additional dimensions:
The space between the glass shelves is: 60 cm
Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care with packing. For safe transport the frame will be wrapped separately in bubble wrap & foam. The glass tops will be wrapped similarly & adding an outer layer of card . Together these pieces would easily fit into a box with loose cushioning for secure shipping with a courier. We ship with reliable couriers (signed for, tracked & insured).

RENATO ZEVI HISTORY
Renato Zevi (1951-2018) was an Italian industrial designer born in Rome. He studied architecture at Rome`s La Sapienza University, graduating in 1976.
Early in his career, Zevi worked as an architect, but soon turned to industrial design. He founded his own design studio in 1983, which quickly gained a reputation for its innovative and creative approach to design.
Best known for his inimitable Ellipse rocking chair, Italian furniture designer Renato Zevi worked with gilt metal and brass, lacquered wood and mirrored glass to create sleek, sensual and glamorous pieces befitting the Hollywood Regency style. Through his firm Zevi and Co., he designed the Ellipse chair for the Selig Furniture Company, an American manufacturer and importer known for being among the first to introduce European modern furniture to USA.
Zevi also collaborated with Italian furniture designer Romeo Rega, creating elegant bookcases and vitrines with gilt brass frames and smoked glass or crystal glass shelves. Collaborations with companies include Flos, Artemide, Alessi and Driade.
Over the years, Zevi has received numerous awards and distinctions for his work, including the Compasso d`Oro in 1987 for his "Conica" lamp for the Nemo company, and in 2001 for his "Tabouret" for the Driade company. His work is exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Renato Zevi also taught industrial design at Rome`s La Sapienza University and took part in design conferences around the world. He passed away in 2018 at the age of 67. Zevi’s designs live on with Hollywood Regency decorators, collectors and design enthusiasts.

We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.
Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.

In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.
The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods.

In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
