A beautifully proportioned two-tier trolley crafted in Sapele mahogany, most probably by renowned SA Maker, DS Vorster & Co, showcasing the timber’s warm, reddish-brown tones and fine ribbon-like grain. The gently curved rails, rounded edges, and smooth joinery give the piece a soft, sculptural presence, made to be admired from all angles.
Both tiers offer generous surface space, making them as practical as they are elegant, perfect as drinks trolleys, side serving stations, or styling pieces in a living room or dining space. It retained its original castor wheels, allowing for effortless movement when entertaining or rearranging.
A timeless, functional piece that blends seamlessly into both mid-century and contemporary interiors, equally striking styled with glassware and bottles, plants and ceramics, or everyday living objects.
Condition:
The trolley has been fully restored, bringing the wood back to a rich, satin finish while preserving the original craftsmanship.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.

All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, we cannot take responsibility for their treatment by third-party transporters. We strongly recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance for full protection.

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.
