Bar Cart in Brazilian Rosewood (Jacarandá) by Sergio Rodrigues Brazil - Lot 76

A masterclass in proportion and materiality, this bar cart by Sergio Rodrigues embodies the sculptural restraint that defines Brazilian modernism of the 1960s. Executed in richly figured Brazilian rosewood (jacarandá), the case reveals dramatic, bookmatched grain with exceptional depth and movement — a testament to Rodrigues’s reverence for tropical hardwoods.

The composition is architectural yet mobile, raised on its original metal casters. A top-lifting panel reveals a white Formica preparation surface — a practical modernist gesture designed for service. Two cabinet doors open to generous interior storage with shelving, balancing utility and refined presence.

Meticulously refinished to enhance the natural tonal contrast and preserve its satin matte depth, the rosewood presents in excellent condition with beautifully articulated veining throughout.

An intelligent and versatile statement piece — equally compelling in a living room, study, or formal entertaining space.
