Lot 209: A Mid-20th Century Oak Two-Tier Trolley With Dual-Access Drawer
Not sold
A mid-20th century trolley constructed from solid oak with a two-tier rectangular form. The upper surface features raised gallery rails to the sides and rear, while the lower shelf is inset within a square-section frame. The piece incorporates a single utility drawer with hand-cut dovetail joints, designed to slide through the frame for access from either side of the trolley. The structure is supported by four square-section legs. The trolley is fitted with four metal casters. Each wheel is embossed with the legend ALL BRITISH GRESLEY. The oak surfaces display a prominent natural grain throughout the solid timber construction. No other maker’s marks or labels are visible on the item.
Condition report:
The trolley shows signs of consistent domestic use. The upper surface and lower shelf exhibit watermarks, surface scratches, and areas of finish loss (photo 3). The wooden frame displays light abrasions and minor indentations to the square-section legs (photo 1). The metal casters show surface oxidation and rust across the wheels and forks (photo 2). Structural integrity appears sound.
