Description:
~Tea was first served in Europe about 1650, and the caffeinated drink became a popular beverage in the centuries that followed. So it is not surprising that some arts and crafts furniture designers labeled a table with wheels and a handle a *tea cart,* even though it was used as a cart to serve any type of food. There were many servants in a well-to-do home of the 1800s. But by the 1900s, houses were smaller and there was less household help. A small table with wheels was used to bring in dishes, hold food and remove used dishes. A rectangular table with simple straight legs was preferred. Add two large front wheels, and a handle, and you had an easily moved table. ~We obtained this nice American oak tea cart from our New York hauler. Rarely found in quarter-sawn oak (usually made of a less-impressive wood) this nice oak tea cart has outstanding lines and lovely wood pattern. A lift-off tray with side shelves that can be raised & lowered complete this early 1920 piece. Enjoy it and know that "there aren't many of these!" We sold one other of these made of oak in our 15 years in this business! This cart has been professionally restored & refinished.
