Early 20th Century Tubular Chrome and Ebony Glass Bar Cart, circa 1930.
-
Description
This early 20th century bar cart is a fine example of Bauhaus design. The circular form and wheels represent the Bauhaus school’s emphasis on movement in contrast to the rectangular fundamentality of rationalism, which was a more traditional approach to design. The chrome-plated metal and ebony glass shelving are both light and functional, also typical of Bauhaus furniture. Note that it was only after 1928 that chrome plating [of chairs & furniture] became possible, which with its bluish white sheen gave this modernist furniture a cooler and harder effect. English circa 1930
“A prospectus by Hannes Meyer contained the words: ‘Young people — come to the Bauhaus.'”
