This black metal and dark wood cart has a very elegant contemporary feel, with a contrast of materials that catches the eye without weighing it down. Its top is ideal for a lamp, a few books, or a tea set, while its metal frame allows it to fit into a kitchen, living room, or office with a lovely visual lightness. Appreciated for its understated look, it pairs easily with wooden seating, a more rustic table, or light-coloured ceramic objects. In a reading nook, it holds a vase and a stack of magazines while maintaining a restrained presence. A second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its past: a few traces of time.

A brief history of the cart
The cart, also known as a serving table, first appeared in the 17th century. At the time, it was used to serve and clear away dishes and tableware during meals. Fitted with casters, it can be moved effortlessly from one place to another and helps clear the table more quickly by reducing the number of trips between the dining room and the kitchen. Its great practicality is what made the cart an important piece of furniture, also used for serving tea or breakfast. Over the centuries, this small mobile side table has found a place of honour in our homes.
