{"product_id":"danish-style-extendable-bar-trolley","title":"Danish-Style Extendable Bar Trolley","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eA rare 1960s bar trolley, \u003cem\u003eattributed to the design and in the manner\u003c\/em\u003e of Niels Erik Glasdam Jensen, Denmark. Crafted in richly figured walnut, the trolley has a striking cabinet form that transforms as the two halves slide apart, revealing a cleverly designed bar and serving interior. Note the attached video.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe open interior provides generous storage for bottles, glasses and barware, with original sliding glass panels, a raised drinks shelf and the retained original painted white base. When extended, the trolley creates a good serving and mixing area, while closing neatly into a compact and exceptionally stylish cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top surfaces have been updated with new black acrylic, secured with solid brass fasteners that complement the warm walnut. As the original handles were no longer present, slim black metal handles were added and secured with solid brass fittings, deliberately chosen to remain understated and sympathetic to the original design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet on vintage castors for easy movement, this is an unusual and highly functional piece of 1960s design; part drinks cabinet, part serving trolley and a real statement piece whether displayed open or closed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesign note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e No maker’s marks or identifying labels are present any longer, and significant restorative changes have been made to the piece. However, its original construction, form and distinctive design details bear a strong similarity to researched examples by Niels Erik Glasdam Jensen; the reference is therefore made on a stylistic basis only, rather than as a confirmed attribution.

While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible.
