This gold metal and smoked glass serving trolley brings a refined contemporary touch, with two tiers that lighten the structure and a golden shelf that completes the design. A second-hand piece, it is just as suitable for a living room as it is for a dining room, perfect for holding glasses, books, or a lamp placed on the top tray. The marriage of metal and glass gives it a sober look that is easy to pair with fabric seating, a light-colored rug, or a few decorative ceramic objects. In an entryway or next to a sofa, it offers an elegant and functional surface. As with any vintage piece, it carries the memory of its past: some signs of wear and tear.

A brief history of the serving trolley
The serving trolley, also known as a tea trolley, emerged in the 17th century. At the time, it was used to serve and clear dishes and tableware during meals. Equipped with wheels, it could be moved from one place to another effortlessly, allowing for faster clearing of the table by reducing the number of trips between the dining room and the kitchen. It is through its great utility that the serving trolley became an important piece of furniture, also used for serving tea or breakfast. Over the centuries, this small mobile side table has found a prime spot in our homes.
