Warren McArthur Rolling Bar Cart Rome, NY Circa 1933/34

A Warren McArthur modernist rolling bar cart manufactured during the first years Warren was located in Rome, New York.
The Warren McArthur Corporation moved from Los Angeles to Rome, New York in January of 1933.

The label ending in "PATS APPLIED FOR" identifies the bar as being manufactured in Rome between 1933/34.

The use of square half inch tubing for the rails bordering the shelves and the staggered count of one, two or three tubes is a well considered contrast to the one inch round tubing that comprises the main body of the bar frame.

The inch and half rectangular U tube that forms the foundation tube of the bar cart gives the necessary strength as well as a strong rectilinear visual that lends a visual balance with the half inch rectangular tubing.

The spacing of the three half round shelves is another successful design decision by McArthur.

The condition is excellent for an 80 year old piece of aluminum furniture there are some minor issues of no consequence as seen in the photos.
