Know before you buy
As a vintage piece from the 1940s, the brass frame shows signs of age consistent with its history. These marks contribute to its authentic patina and character, which cannot be replicated by modern reproductions.
The mirrored tiers are integrated into the frame structure. We recommend cleaning them in place using a soft, non-abrasive glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to preserve the integrity of the vintage finish.
The cart is equipped with four metal casters designed for mobility. While they function well on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile, they are best suited for indoor use and may require a steady hand on thicker rugs or carpets.
While the cart is structurally sound and perfect for displaying a curated collection of spirits and glassware, it is not designed for heavy-duty storage. We recommend distributing weight evenly across both tiers to maintain stability.
No, this piece arrives fully assembled. It is ready to be styled and used immediately upon unboxing.
