An era that’s rich with design inspiration—thinkArt Deco architecture, ornate chandeliers, gilded finishes and velvet furnishings—there’s plenty to be gleaned in the way of interior design from the early 20th century. One such piece that made its name in the time of flappers and speakeasies—the drinks trolley.While its history may hark back to 19th century tea parties, the bar cart gained popularity (and notoriety) post-Prohibition, when it found its place in homes and offices alike to trolley drinks from room to room, heralding happy hour regardless of what time it was. Nowadays, the drinks trolley functions as both a décor item and piece of furniture, adding a touch of old-world glamour to your interior design scheme.As practical as it is elegant, a bar trolley serves as a handy—and moveable—storage solutionfor liquor bottles and glassware, particularly useful if your floor plan doesn’t exactly allow for a home bar and you’re working with asmall space.
