Oval Brass Bar Cart with Three Glass Tiers and Openwork Galleries with Rosettes. Maison Jansen. 1950s

This oval bar cart stacks three clear glass tiers encircled by brass galleries finely pierced with a delicate net-like rosette motif, of great ornamental richness. The tubular ringed uprights extend at the top into gripping handles and rest on original castors that ensure the mobility of this small service piece.

The finesse of the openwork galleries and the typology of the three-tier trolley allow this French work of the 1950s to be stylistically associated with the productions of Maison Jansen, the great Parisian decorating house founded in 1880, supplier to royal courts, whose small occasional pieces in brass are among the most sought-after.

Condition report: Good overall condition. Brass with a fine gilded patina, glass possibly showing likely surface micro-scratches, working castors. A precious trolley for serving or as a side table, whose three tiers multiply its uses.
