    E3E1553F-E6B4-49BC-89DC-A9A5718375AD.jpeg Hi everyone! I’m gathering some information on this antique flip top bar cart for a friend. I can’t find much info on it at all. Here’s some details along with a photo:
    Small casters, mirrored inside of flips (seems like maybe mirror clips have been replaced though?), middle rises up and down when opening and closing flip top, solid wood, space for liquor bottles on either sides of rising glassware storage, no markings anywhere for clues. Anybody have any knowledge or clues where to send me for more info? Thank y’all! E3E1553F-E6B4-49BC-89DC-A9A5718375AD.jpeg

    "Surprise" or "pop-up" drinks cabinet. You might try searching terms like "drinks trolley" "bar cart" "liquor cabinet" as well. I'd guess early 20th century English but I'm no expert on these. Maple and Co seems to be a well known maker of finer examples, like this one pictured.

    More likely vintage mid-20th Century. The drink trolley and the coffee table are the archetypical furniture types from that era.
