A brief history of the serving cart
The serving cart, also known as a butler’s cart, 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 could be moved effortlessly from one place to another, allowing the table to be cleared more quickly by reducing the number of trips between the dining room and the kitchen. Its practicality made the serving cart an important piece of furniture, also used for serving tea or breakfast. Over the centuries, this small mobile side table has secured a place of honor in our homes.
