This elegant two-tier trolley is crafted in richly toned Mahogany and showcases a beautifully resolved wishbone-style leg design that gives the piece its light, sculptural presence. The gently tapering legs curve inward before branching toward the top and lower shelf, creating a refined sense of movement and balance that feels graceful.
The trolley features two generous tiers, making it highly versatile. It works equally well as a drinks trolley, side table, plant stand, or mobile storage piece in a living or dining space. The proportions are slim and well considered, allowing it to sit comfortably without overwhelming a room.
The wishbone leg form became especially popular in the mid-century period from the 1950s through to the 1960s, when designers across Scandinavia, Britain, and parts of Europe began favouring organic shapes and sculptural timber construction. Inspired by both traditional craftsmanship and modernist ideals, wishbone and Y-shaped supports were celebrated for their strength, visual lightness, and ability to elevate simple furniture forms into design statements.
This trolley reflects that era’s emphasis on honest materials, elegant joinery, and practical beauty.
Condition:
The mahogany has been completely restored, carefully cleaned, refinished, and sealed to enhance the natural grain while ensuring durability for everyday use. The trolley retains its original castor wheels, which move smoothly and allow for easy repositioning without compromising the integrity or authenticity of the piece.

As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
